GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Gas prices in Michigan are up eight cents compared to last week, according to AAA. This increase comes after weeks of steady decrease.
Drivers are now paying an average of $3.18 per gallon for regular unleaded. That price is four cents less than this time last month but $1.01 more than this time last year. Michigan drivers are now paying an average of $48 for a full 15-gallon tank of gas.
“Typically, pump prices decline due to lower gas demand and a rise in total stocks, but continued growth in the price of crude oil has helped to elevate pump prices,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group.
According to AAA, the most expensive prices are being seen in Marquette, Metro Detroit and Traverse City. The cheapest prices are being seen in Grand Rapids, Saginaw and Flint.
