DETROIT – The war in Ukraine has reached its seventh day after Russia invaded the former Soviet nation last week and, as expected, the fighting has impacted energy supplies and costs around the world.
Fuel costs for U.S. drivers have been on the rise in recent weeks, but the average price at the pump has especially risen within the last week amid the war in Ukraine. For many Michigan drivers, gas prices have risen by about 10-20 cents over the last seven days.
