(WWJ) -- Michigan's average gas prices have jumped over $4 a gallon yet again.

A Triple-A survey shows that the state's average fuel prices increased by ten cents a gallon compared to last week, averaging at $4.04.

This price is four cents less than this time last month but still $1.24 more than this time last year, reports AAA.

In Metro Detroit, prices are averaging $4.06 a gallon, which is about 7 cents more than last week’s average, and $1.25 more than this same time last year.

Motorists are paying an average of $60 for a full 15-gallon tank of gasoline, which is an increase of about $9 from when prices were their highest last November.

"Tight gasoline stocks along with volatility in the crude oil market has pushed Michigan gas prices above $4 a gallon for the first time in almost three weeks," said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson for AAA-The Auto Club Group. "Pump prices will likely continue to face upward pressure as oil prices remain above $100 per barrel."
