Michigan s gas prices are creeping up to close to $3 a gallon, and could go even higher as more than 1 million people in the state, a nearly 60% increase from last year, are expected to take trips during Memorial Day weekend.
AAA warned that the Colonial Pipeline, which delivers 45% of fuel to the East Coast, is offline as a result of a cyberattack, so there could be some shortages.
Moreover, there also appears to be a shortage of tanker truck drivers to deliver the gas.
So consider refueling when the tank gets down to a half- or a quarter-tank, just to make sure you don t run out.

DAYTONA BEACH The ransomware cyberattack that shut down the nation s largest fuel pipeline over the weekend has so far not affected gasoline prices in Volusia and Flagler counties.
That s because most of Florida gets its gasoline from Texas via ship through the Gulf of Mexico. It s too early to know how gas prices in Florida will be affected by the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline, said Mark Jenkins, a Tampa-based spokesman for AAA Auto Club. It s going to be contingent on how long the pipeline is down as well as the futures market on Wall Street for crude oil. So far there hasn t been a lot of movement (on gasoline prices).
