DEARBORN, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Average gas prices in Michigan are now at their highest in nearly seven years.
AAA reports a 15 cent hike from a week ago making the statewide average $3.17 per gallon. The last time prices were this high was in October of 2014. This price is 22 cents more than this time last month and $1.06 more than this time one year ago.
“Higher crude oil prices coupled with tightening gas supplies in the Midwest helped push the Michigan state average to the highest since October of 2014,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group.
The auto club says if domestic crude prices remain high, motorists will likely continue to see pump prices fluctuate through at least the end of this month.
