GasBuddy forecasts this summer’s average gas price may reach $4.80 per gallon if the Strait of Hormuz stays closed; West Michigan county prices (from $4.58 to $4.72) remain lower and some officials propose suspending federal and state gas taxes, which would lower pump costs but cut transportation funds.
Driving with your pet in your lap is legal in Michigan but experts warn it can distract drivers and risk injury in a crash (they recommend using carriers or harnesses for safety).
