Gas in Upper Michigan is 3.50 a gallon and 4.19 for diesel. My brother drives truck and I sure feel sorry for him and for all of us. However, I think we all need to change our usage and try and create a big excess. Also, because the dollar is falling in value compared to other currencies - and because oil is priced based on dollars they have to keep jacking the price up here to make it hold it's price in other countries......I think we all need to buy bicycles and use them. Good exercise and saves $$$$!
