Gas Prices

We bought gas in Mansfield Ohio this weekend for $2.12!! We figured it was because Ohio didn't have the same kind of gas tax we have in Michigan. Then we pondered the beautiful, smooth Ohio roads. Did the Turnpike pay for the maintenance of all of them?? Even the barely more than a cowpath, poorly marked roads in Morrow County were nice!!

Today, just north of Michigan's richest county,(Oakland) I paid $2.23 and thought that was great. That was until saw $2.09 (with your Kroger card)in Flint Township. (The City of Flint is considered to be the poorest place in Michigan right now.)

It was good to see lower gas prices in Michigan, but construction abounds on our roads and it's almost "salt season"!
