If you are hitting the road and traveling this Memorial Day weekend -- you are not alone!

Gas prices jumped up 30 cents a gallon last week here in Michigan -- the highest increase in the United States. The prices continue to climb.

The holiday weekend is upon us and many Michiganders will be spending it in their car driving. AAA is predicting a lot of road travel. An estimated 1.4 million Michiganders will be jumping behind the wheel this weekend which is a 20% jump from this time last year.

Gas prices spiked in Michigan making it the highest cost for gasoline since October 2014. The price is 22 cents higher than it was a week ago.

Currently, Michigan only has laws banning texting while driving.

More than 1 million Michigan residents will take a trip during the holiday weekend, and Michigan "welcomes" you back.

Gas prices are on their way up.

AAA Tells MLive it could be the highest number in 2 decades, so expect a lot of slowdowns.

If you hurry, you might be able to fill up before all of the stations jump to the highest gas prices since late 2014.

What are we in the Top 10 for now? Unemployment? Basketball? States with snow and the coldest friggin' air in the country?

Expect to pay more at the pump this summer. Conflicts in Iraq have caused gas to go up substantially. According to AAA, 41 million people are expected to hit the road during this Fourth of July weekend, and experts say get ready to pay more at the pump.
