Gas prices holding steady over the holidays

The state average is only up by one penny.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — If there is one place that you may want to save a little money, it's as the gas pump -- especially during the holidays. 

In Michigan, the average price of gas is only up 1 cent compared to a week ago. Drivers are now paying an average of $2.49 per gallon for regular unleaded. This price is 5 cents less than this time last month and 33 cents more than this time last year.

Motorists are paying an average of $37 for a full 15-gallon tank of gasoline; about $10 less than when prices were their highest last May.

Pump prices savings are coming to Michigan this month and into next year. AAA forecasts gas prices to edge cheaper by as much as a dime throughout the Great Lakes and Central region, but warns motorists to expect price fluctuation – potentially large swings – from week-to-week. 

“Gas prices in the coming weeks are expected to be cheaper, which – with the holidays upon us – is good news for motorists,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group. “While people in most states are paying more to fill-up year-over-year, there are some strong savings when comparing the 2018 to 2019 overall average. This year’s Michigan average is about 12 cents cheaper than last year.”
