“This dramatic increase in price deserves a full
investigation by a trusted Michigan official,” said Rep. Webber, R-Rochester
Hills, who serves as a member of the House Committee on Energy Policy.
An oil refinery in Whiting, Indiana – which is owned by
British Petroleum (BP) – has reported a mechanical breakdown. As a result, gas
prices in Michigan have jumped by an immense amount.

The breakdown is expected to result in an approximately
80-cents-per-gallon spike in gasoline prices in coming weeks. There is
currently no estimated time that prices will return to normal.
“In Michigan’s improving economic climate, the necessity of
this price spike must be questioned,” Rep. Webber said. “A thorough
investigation conducted by Attorney General Schuette would accurately look into
this matter and provide answers that Michiganders rightfully deserve.”
