DEARBORN (WWJ) -- Michigan drivers will be feeling some relief at the gas pump this week.

According to AAA, fuel prices in Michigan are down 10 cents compared to last week, with drivers paying an average of $4.04 per gallon for regular unleaded.

"A decrease in demand alongside higher gasoline stocks has led to lower pump prices," said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson of the Auto Club Group. "If these trends continue as crude oil prices decline, motorists could likely see gas prices move lower."

However, this price is still 30 cents more than this time last month, and $1.20 more than this time last year.

A full 15-gallon tank of gas is averaging at $60, which is an increase of about $9 from when prices were their highest last November.

In Metro Detroit, the average daily gas price also decreased. The current average is $4.10 per gallon, which is about 9 cents less than last week's average. However, this average is still $1.27 more than this same time last year.

Most expensive gas price averages:
• Marquette -- $4.22
• Traverse City -- $4.18
• Ann Arbor -- $4.11

Least expensive gas price averages:
• Grand Rapids -- $3.97
• Benton Harbor -- $3.97
• Saginaw -- $3.97
