Michigan Gas Prices Fall, According to AAA
Gas prices are falling just as motorists prepare for peak holiday driving season.

Gas prices in Michigan dropped eight cents this month, a trend in line with national fuel prices, according to AAA Michigan.
“Cheaper winter gas prices are being seen for the bulk of the country as gasoline demand hits the lowest mark since February,” according to AAA spokesperson Jeanette Casselano. “On the week, 90 percent of states saw their gas price average drop – some even by double digits.”
While prices are dropping this month, which is good news for holiday travel, nationally, prices are actually up by 30 cents since December 2016. Still, with Detroit area gas averaging around $2.50 a gallon, and the state average at $2.44, it’s a relief from the not-long-passed days of $3.50 or more at the pumps.
