BIRCH RUN -- Gas prices have jumped significantly in the past few days.

In Birch Run a gallon of regular is going for $4.19.

AAA Michigan says gas prices are up about 9 cents per gallon over the past week.

The statewide average is about a $1.26 higher than this time last year, and that's angering a lot of folks.

"We complain about the gas companies making 14 billion in the first quarter, yet we are paying over $4.00 a gallon, that doesn't make any sense," said Clio resident, Richard Mendoza.

AAA Michigan says the cheapest price for unleaded fuel is in the Lansing area at $3.82 a gallon.
