Michigan Gas prices increase slightly

After a couple weeks of gas prices taking a dip, the Michigan state average is up this week compared to a week ago.

AAA says gas prices in Michigan are up 2 cents from last week. Michigan drivers are now paying an average of $3.29 per gallon for regular unleaded. This price is 18 cents less than this time last month and 24 cents less than this time last year.

Motorists are paying an average of $49 for a full 15-gallon tank of gasoline; a discount of about $29 from 2022's highest price last June.

Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group says quote, "Sharp price spikes in some metro areas coupled with slight declines in other areas have led to a slight increase in the Michigan state average," she adds, "If gas demand continues to rise amid tightening stocks, drivers could see prices increase." End quote.

The most expensive gas price averages can be found in Metro Detroit, Ann Arbor and Marquette with the least expensive averages found in Grand Rapids, Saginaw and Jackson.
