Gas Buddy sends an alert warning us to think about refueling, and soon!

The tech company that monitors 140,000 gas stations for real-time fuel prices notes that the pre-hike average in Michigan was $ 2.99. but warns that it could reach a projected average of $ 3.19, or even more!

Gas Buddy says those Battle Creek stations in your area are generally slow to respond:

• Sam’s Club at 12737 6 Mile Rd
• Marathon at 240 E Columbia Ave
• Circle K at 221 E Columbia Ave
• BP at 5195, chemin BECKLEY
• BP at 2594 CAPITAL AVE SW

But the East Columbia Marathon has already bumped its price from regular to $ 3.13 Wednesday afternoon. The Circle K across the street was still $ 2.85. (The $ 3.13 on the sign at Circle K is for diesel)

So what can we expect? Gas Buddy says there is a 94% chance that prices will climb to $ 3.32 the next day and a half. (by Friday morning). Prices are already so high in the Detroit area. The state’s lowest prices on Wednesday afternoon were $ 2.69 in Fremont.
