SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN (WKZO AM/FM) — It’s costing a little more for Michiganders to fill up their cars this week.
Gas Buddy‘s Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan says drivers are seeing prices over $3 a gallon due to refinery maintenance, an unexpected refinery outage in St. Louis, and the decision by OPEC to not raise oil production.
He adds that they have already switched over to the cheaper winter gasoline, but all of these issues are keeping prices higher for the time being.
As of Thursday, the average price for regular gasoline was $3.03 a gallon in Kalamazoo.
