DEARBORN, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Gas prices in Michigan are down 23 cents from a week ago, with drivers now paying an average of $3.81 per gallon for regular unleaded. That price is 31 cents less than this time last month but still 45 cents more than this time last year.
Despite the recent declines, pump prices could still set new record highs for the holiday. In Michigan, the highest daily average price for Thanksgiving was set back in 2012, at $3.61 per gallon, which is 20 cents less than our current average price of $3.81 per gallon.
“Higher gas prices don’t seem to be enough to stop people from traveling to be with family and friends,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokeswoman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “We’ve found that when gas prices are high, travelers look to offset the added cost by spending less on a hotel, shopping or dining out.”
