## Resource

Michigan drivers are paying the price as gas prices surged 20 cents a gallon in one day, jumping from $4.02 to $4.22—up from last week’s $4.09. The spike is tied to rising wholesale gasoline prices in the Great Lakes region, with national averages also climbing. Global oil prices are soaring too, with Brent crude hitting $100 a barrel—the highest since late July—driven by escalating U.S.-Iran tensions. Across Metro Detroit, prices ranged from $4.20 in St. Clair County to $4.31 in Livingston County, showing a clear upward trend as regional and global forces collide at the pump.
