Rising gas prices push drivers to change habits across Metro Detroit

Gas prices have surged overnight due to the ongoing Iran-US-Israel conflict, with a 60-cent increase per gallon from last week in Michigan, raising the state average to $3.58. The rise has sparked frustration among drivers in Metro Detroit, as many express concern over the affordability of fuel, impacting their driving habits. Customers like Mrs. Turner, Nyle Logan, and Tara Deramus have voiced their dismay, while others, like John Meehan, seek the cheapest options online. The increase, reported by AAA and GasBuddy, reflects a 9% rise in retail fuel prices nationally, leaving many, like Frank in Wayne County, struggling to cope.
