DEARBORN, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Gas prices in Michigan are down about 4 cents compared to a week ago.
Michigan drivers are now paying an average of $2.72 per gallon for regular unleaded. This price is 22 cents more than this time last month and 46 cents more than this time last year. AAA says despite the slight drop in Michigan gas prices, the National average increased five cents compared to last week.
“Despite the slight drop in Michigan gas prices, the National average increased five cents compared to last week,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group. “If crude prices continue to rise alongside tightening gas supplies, Michigan motorists could possibly see higher pump prices this month.”
Crude prices increased last week after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) decided with its allies, including Russia, to maintain existing crude production cuts of 7 million b/d through April.
