Tom Wier at last reports was in Chicago. Gas is around $1.04 _at the
moment_ here in W. Michigan. It's probably a bit lower in the city of
Detroit, higher in the suburbs; Ann Arbor (yuppie heaven) usually has the
highest price in the state.
A few years ago, when I drove to Florida every winter, it was interesting to
observe gas prices along the way. Mich, Indiana, about comparable;
Kentucky, Tenn. a little lower; Georgia unbelievably cheap (on the order
Mich. 1.20/.30, Georgia $l.00 or even less), Florida higher than Mich. The
Miami-Palm Beach area was even higher. This is incomprehensible,
reprehensible even.
