DEARBORN, Mich. – Gas prices in Michigan are up 13 cents from a week ago, according to AAA.

Drivers are now paying an average of $59 for a full 15-gallon tank of gasoline. The national average for a gallon of gas declined for 98 days in a row, but reversed course last week.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand decreased from 8.49 million b/d to 8.32 million b/d. The EIA said total domestic gasoline stocks increased by 1.6 million bbl to 214.6 million bbl.
The AAA said tight supply and fluctuating oil prices have increased the national average. If gas demand remains low and continues to drop, pump price increases are expected to be minimized as the supply increases.
“Michigan motorists are paying more at the pump this week, with some metro areas seeing prices above $4 a gallon,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group.
Metro Detroit’s current average is $4.00 per gallon, about 9 cents more than last week’s average and 72 cents more than this time last year.
The most expensive gas price averages are in Marquette ($4.02), Metro Detroit ($4.00), Ann Arbor ($3.96). The least expensive gas price averages are in Traverse City ($3.84), Grand Rapids ($3.87), Lansing ($3.89).
