$2.23 per gallon in Marquette, and $1.79 in SE Michigan on Monday 11-17-08. Boys in the U.P. who own gas stations are not working at attracting down state travelers with those margins.
For the last 5 years I have kept track of the prices between these areas, and it has never ranged more than a nickle or dime difference. Seems these companies have decided to "get a piece of the pie" at a price.
Clearly a deterient to travel in the region.
