Gas prices back up an average 13 cents per gallon this week across Michigan

DEARBORN, MI – Gas prices in Michigan are up 13 cents compared to last week, with the average price of $2.14 per gallon for regular unleaded.

The price is still 36 cents less than this time last year.

Motorists are paying an average of $32 for a full 15-gallon tank of gasoline; a discount of $12 from when prices were their highest last July.

“The increase in the Michigan state average is likely temporary as the country enters the winter driving season — a time when gas demand typically hits the lowest levels for the year,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA – The Auto Club Group.
