Gas prices in Michigan are down 5 cents compared to a week ago with Michigan drivers now paying an average of $2.79 per gallon for regular unleaded. This price is 3 cents less than this time last month but still $1.25 more than this time last year.
Motorists are paying an average of $42 for a full 15-gallon tank of gasoline; an increase of $3 from when prices were their highest January of 2020.
"Michigan motorists are seeing pump prices drop slightly after a double digit spike," said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group. "While prices are declining, the Michigan state average is still $1.25 higher than this time last year, when the pandemic sent gas demand tumbling. When compared to prior years, the current gas price average is 7 cents less than this same time in 2019."
Compared to last week, Metro Detroit's average daily gas price decreased slightly. Metro Detroit's current average is $2.82 per gallon, about 1 cent less than last week's average and $1.27 more than this same time last year.
