DEARBORN (WWJ) -- Michigan drivers will experience more pain at the pump as gas prices hit a new 2022-high.
According to reports by AAA, the state's average gas price jumped 15 cents compared to last week.
Michigan drivers are now paying an average of $3.37 per gallon for regular unleaded, which is 20 cents more than this time last month and 87 cents more than this time last year.
Motorists are paying an average of $50 for a full 15-gallon tank of gasoline; only about $1 less from when prices were their highest in November 2021.
"Crude oil prices hit $90 a barrel putting upward pressure on Michigan pump prices pushing them to a new 2022-high," said AAA spokesperson, Adrienne Woodland. "If crude prices continue to climb, pump prices will likely follow suit."
