The auto club Triple-A Michigan finds the price of gas is one cent higher this week than last…reaching a record statewide average of three dollars and sixty five cents a gallon.

Blair: “No…I’m gonna eat first!” (fade laughter under following voice link)
Triple-A officials say the average gas price is nearly 50 cents higher than it was this time last year.
