What happened
Diesel fuel prices have risen sharply across Michigan and nationally. The average price of diesel in Michigan reached $6.8717 a gallon, which is nearly 87% higher than the price recorded a year earlier. This increase has prompted businesses to implement fuel surcharges to offset rising operational costs.
