Gas is all over the news because it's apparently quite expensive, and never mind the fact that it has been pretty darn expensive for a couple of years now. Michigan hit another all time high of $3.84 per gallon last week and the numbers are rolling on at michigangasprices.com where they range from a low in Ludington at $3.63 to a high at Beaver Island of $4.99!
In Free gas offers may lure Michigan tourists, mLive reports on the Traverse City Convention and Visitors Bureau and a list of many others who are offering gas cards to entice tourists to look beyond the numbers to the prospect of actually doing something fun as Memorial Day Weekend approaches. They also have a brief article about how some Michigan state campgrounds are offering RV storage between stays, allowing you to park that gas hungry motor home or trailer for up to 30 days between stays.
Somewhere on the newly redesigned michigan.org there is a list of businesses and chambers offering gas card promotions. I couldn't find it but did find out that 2008 is being billed as The Year of the Car.
With calls rising to cut the Federal gas tax and Michigan's state sales taxes on fuel, you can be sure that gas prices are going to remain in the minds of travelers and those who are relying on travel for their livelihoods will have to work even harder this year!
