Michigan's gas average is 44 cents more than the national average
(CBS DETROIT) - Gas prices continue to soar in the state of Michigan.
According to AAA, Michigan's gas average is $4.35 a gallon, compared to the national average of 3.91 a gallon. But last week, Michiganders were only paying $4.17 a gallon, and prices at the pump were at $3.33 a gallon a year ago.
AAA reports Monday's national average is 19 cents higher than a month ago and 65 cents more than a year ago.
Gas experts say the prices at the pump are because of high gasoline demand amid a tight supply.
