(Lansing, MI)  --  Michigan now has some of the highest gas prices in the country. Many stations began charging $4.17 to $4.19 per gallon for regular unleaded yesterday, bringing prices very close to the record of $4.21 set in July 2008. Triple-A Michigan's Nancy Cain said in the past month, prices at the pump have gone up nearly 40 cents a gallon, and that we're paying $1.13 more than this time last year.
