MICHIGAN ~ The state of Michigan saw its average gas price rise by about 80 cents over the past week as it nears $5 a gallon.

As of Monday morning, AAA reported the average price was at $4.856, rising dramatically from the $4.041 average the prior Monday. This rise in gas prices comes from the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran as Iran continues to blockade the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for the war.
