Gas prices in Michigan are down 8 cents from a week ago. Michigan drivers are now paying an average of $3.83 per gallon for regular unleaded. This price is 49 cents less than this time last month but still 69 cents more than this time last year.
Motorists are paying an average of $57 for a full 15-gallon tank of gasoline; an increase of about $6 from 2021’s highest price last November.
“Michigan gas prices have continued to decrease for 10 weeks in a row,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group. “Despite these declines, Michigan motorists are still expected to see the highest Labor Day gas prices since 2012.”
Compared to last week, Metro Detroit’s average daily gas price decreased. Metro Detroit’s current average is $3.94 per gallon, about 5 cents less than last week’s average but still 67 cents more than this same time last year.
