What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Fuel prices are rising in Michigan, with regular gas in the state costing around $4.92, according to Triple-A Michigan. Diesel prices in Metro Detroit are averaging $6.78, reaching a recorded high. This spike is attributed to oil prices near $100 a barrel and an ongoing outage at a major Illinois refinery. Since the war with Iran began over six months ago, diesel prices have risen more than 55 percent.
