A libertarian political advocacy group is partnering with gas stations across the country to offer discount fuel.<\/p>\n
WYOMING, Mich. For just a few hours, some motorists in West Michigan got to capitalize on gasoline priced at $2.38 a gallon.<\/p>\n
A privately-owned Citgo gas station in Wyoming partnered up with Americans for Prosperity-Michigan, which is a libertarian political advocacy group.<\/p>\n
From 10 a.m. to noon Thursday, the gas station offered up discounted gas on a first-come-first-serve basis. Hundreds of cars lined up for their chance to fill up. <\/p>\n
The group chose $2.38 a gallon because that's what they say was the national average price of gas on the day that President Joe Biden took office.<\/p>\n
Rep. Peter Meijer stopped by Thursday morning to take part in the event.<\/p>\n
This short event mirrored similar discount gas events across the country to highlight the increasing costs of energy. According to AAA, the average price of gas for Americans sits around $4.86 per gallon.<\/p>\n
