Michigan Gas Prices Rise

DETROIT (AP) — Oil and gas industry watchers say pump prices have jumped across the Great Lakes region because of the unexpected, partial shutdown of a large Indiana oil refinery.

Dearborn-based Triple A Michigan, which surveys prices at 2,800 Michigan gas stations, said Wednesday the statewide average is about $2.58 a gallon. Prices in Battle Creek average at $2.99 per gallon.
