Mt. Morris Twp. is a few miles north-west of Flint, MI and even if I’d heard about this deal in time, it would have taken most of a tank just to get there and back. But in a state where the average pump price is currently hovering around $4.00, it was well worth the drive for most locals.
The Beacon & Bridge gas station had traffic backed up nearly a half mile to I-475 today as it rolled back prices to $1.84 per gallon for the first 150 motorists.
The gas station announced early today that it would host a gas rollback event for the Americans for Prosperity-Michigan’s “Obama’s Failing Agenda” bus tour. The group said that the $1.84 per gallon price reflects the cost of gas in 2008, before President Barack Obama took office.
Scott Hagerstrom, state director of Americans for Prosperity-Michigan, said that the event was held today to show people that there is a way to fight back against the gas prices and against politician’s unwillingness to provide financial relief for citizens.
“We really need to remind people about where we were just a few short years ago,” Hagerstrom said. “We’re really about limited government and economic liberty. We have the resources in this country to be energy independent and if we drill those resources it’ll mean great paying jobs for Americans and it will also increase the supply (of oil) and lower the price.”
It doesn’t look like AFP has any more fuel discounts planned 
but they do have plenty of other events scheduled between now and November 6th.
