The Michigan state average is still down 11 cents from this time last month
DEARBORN, Mich., (December 2, 2024) - Gas prices in Michigan are up 7 cents from a week ago. Michigan drivers are now paying an average of $3.08 per gallon for regular unleaded. This price is 11 cents less than this time last month and 4 cents less than this time last year.
Motorists are paying an average of $46 for a full 15-gallon tank of gasoline; a discount of about $12 from 2023's highest price last August.
"With a record breaking number of travelers on the roadways for Thanksgiving, motorists in Michigan are now seeing higher prices at the pump," said Howard Hughey, Public Affairs Director, AAA-The Auto Club Group. "If demands drops after the holiday, gas prices could possibly follow suit."
