Pain at the pump: Michigan drivers squeezed as prices spike
Michigan drivers are facing increased gas prices, with the average cost rising to $3.87 per gallon, nearly $1 more than a month ago. Metro Detroit stations are charging $4 or more, impacting residents like Tina and Charlie Oleson, whose earnings are reduced due to higher fuel costs. Diesel prices are also surging, with truckers like Sean Moore spending over $300 to fill up large tanks. While prices remain below the 2022 peak of $5.22, there's uncertainty on when relief will come as seasonal blend changes and demand could drive prices higher through Memorial Day.
