It is all a game to see what people will buy.Once demand goes up,gas prices will go steady or back up.Wait till winter all thoes fuel companies prices to heat homes will double our costs.Fuel to heat,and to drive.Food prices will continue high as ethnol is still in progress.Which is not the answer at all.Many dairy products,meats,and cereal prices are way to high as many cut them out of there weekly lists of food.More go with out balanced meals.Macromie and starch products are what many eat now,just putting on the pounds.Not helping us keep our weight down or our kids weight.Foods that fill us.So many out there like the higher prices they are getting for their products and cheaper prices will not be seen by the ones needing many things.My 12$ an hour job buys about what a wage of 6$ an hr job would.Gas prices comming down?It has already done so much damage to many families they may never recover.May go back up also?Then what?

Not dropping enough.Nothing else comming down either.Mich still not getting enough jobs comming in.Gas prices very.Pay checks not going up,More getting laid off.Mich not improving at all.Prices went up faster than they will come down,To much profit to be made yet by the greedy ones.Still more finding oil on there land.Money must take care of money.The big oil boom is far from over.The big crash is what some won't like.The greedy realastate companies have felt that boom and crash.Banks are having to be bailed out and loan companies.People lost thoes homes,now no one wants to buy.So whats the next big boom.I guess we will find out someday.Beware.

Indiana has it at lower prices than mich.Since alot of things we need are cheaper down in Indiana we go there to shop.Also fill up on gas.Many do in the lower counties of mich.Some pool there money together for gas and make the trip from other mich counties.Mich and there cigg tax has forced many to shop in other states.Finding other prices cheaper and better kept parks ect they vacation there also.More are finding jobs in other states and moveing there.Mich is turning into the biggest welfare state in the states.More layoffs and jobs NOT comming here.NO GOOD NEWS ABOUT MICH.Everything fails in mich due to government failing.
