MI Gas Prices Skyrocket, Among Highest In The Nation

Gas prices across Michigan have climbed to their highest averages since August 2024, according to AAA.

Michiganders paid an average of $3.58 Monday morning, 59 cents higher than a week ago and 76 cents higher than last month, according to AAA.

Only eight states had higher average prices Monday morning, according to AAA.

"Gas prices across Michigan have skyrocketed, with drivers paying the highest prices since August of 2024," said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson for The Auto Club Group with AAA. "If crude oil prices continue to climb, pump prices may increase further."

The average price for a regular gallon of gas in the metro Detroit area was $3.52, which is 50 cents higher than last week and 60 cents more expensive than last month, according to AAA.

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said prices could go even higher.

"With additional attacks across the Middle East over the weekend pushing oil above $100 per barrel for the first time in years, fuel markets are now rapidly recalibrating to the risk of prolonged disruption to global supply flows," De Haan said. "As a result, gasoline prices in many states could climb another 20 to 50 cents per gallon this week, with price-cycling markets potentially seeing increases as early as today."

The most expensive places to get gas in Michigan were in Saginaw ($3.65), Lansing ($3.64) and Traverse City ($3.63).

The cheapest places to get gas in Michigan were in Marquette ($3.40), Metro Detroit ($3.49) and Benton Harbor ($3.57).
