DEARBORN, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Gas prices in Michigan are continuing the upward trend, rising 19 cents compared to last week.
AAA is reporting that drivers are now paying an average of $4.36 per gallon for regular unleaded, which is 50 cents more than this time last month and $1.03 more than this time last year.
Motorists are paying an average of $65 for a full 15-gallon tank of gasoline, which is an increase of about $14 per tank from 2021’s highest price in November 2021.
“Rising crude oil prices coupled with tightening supply due to refinery issues continues to put upward pressure on pump prices,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group. “If demand declines, it could possibly slow down the price increases that Michigan motorists have seen for the past few weeks.”
