DEARBORN, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The current demand for gasoline in Michigan is at its highest since March 2020, when social distancing restrictions were in place that dramatically reduced gas demand. According to AAA, prices are now in line with a typical pre-pandemic spring driving season.
“Increasing gas stocks helped keep pump prices in check last week, despite demand rising to pre-pandemic rates,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group. “Continued growth in total domestic supply will likely help pump prices hold steady through this week.”
Average gas prices across the state increased four cents compared to a week ago. Drivers are paying an average of $2.83 per gallon for regular unleaded which is 12 cents more than this time last month and $1.41 more than this time last year.
