DEARBORN, MI (WKZO AM/FM)- Gas prices in Michigan are down three cents compared to last week.
AAA Michigan says drivers are now paying an average of $3.40 per gallon for regular unleaded. That price is eight cents more than this time last month and $1.33 more than this time last year.
Motorists are paying an average of $51 for a full 15-gallon tank of gasoline, an increase of about $12 from when prices were their highest last January.
“The decrease in demand has contributed to some slight price relief at the pump for drivers,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group. “However, pump prices will likely remain elevated as long as oil prices are above $80 per barrel.”
