ALERT- Great Lakes refining issues now touching gasoline- not nearly as much as diesel but Sunday will be an easy call for the day to fill up- unless stations pull a very rare Saturday hike. Gas prices in MI, IN, OH, IL, WI could cycle on Monday to previous highs.

Prices in Grand Rapids starting to come down from $4.99. Saw $4.83 and $4.79 this morning. A promising but still fluid outlook. https://t.co/jaaIjdIEtO

GOOD NEWS for GREAT LAKES- refinery issues clearing up- if you're in MI/IN/OH/IL/WI don't be in a rush to fill- the way things are looking, average gas prices could fall 20-40c/gal with diesel falling 25-60c in the next two weeks (but this could change if Strait destabilizes)

@GasBuddyGuy Where did you see the BP statement?

For the first time since 2018, the Central and Western game is back on a Saturday in Mount Pleasant!

The game is October 17th so the weather should still be pretty nice.

This is ambitious, but Kelly/Shorts Stadium should absolutely be sold out that day.

@Beebsbondy and it hurts me every time you say it. I traded for Hedman before he went on IR. I added Raddysh but dropped him when Hedman briefly came off IR. The prior Hedman owner scooped him and has continued to make me look foolish.
