## Resource

Gas prices in Michigan are skyrocketing, with regular unleaded nearing $5 a gallon and diesel hitting record highs of $6.67—nationwide diesel also shattered records at $6.44. While whispers of suspending gas taxes swirl, experts say those moves won’t significantly ease the pump pain. Southeast Michigan briefly dodged pricier summer blends for affordability, but even eliminating the federal tax (last done in 1956) wouldn’t fix the crisis—state taxes are steeper, and the money funds roads.
