MICHIGAN ~ As of Friday morning, Michigan is among the most expensive states for gasoline as prices near $5 a gallon.

According to AAA, Michigan sat at $4.765 a gallon Friday, the ninth-highest average in the nation, with California the highest at $6.160 a gallon. The spike in gas prices in recent weeks is driven largely by the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran that has lasted for over two months.
