While prices have been erratic this summer, the lower cost of oil is leaving Michigan prices around 6 cents below the national average. This will likely lead to an Independence Day with prices far lower than the $4.94 they were at on July 4, 2022.
The state’s highest averages are in Metro Detroit and Marquette, at $3.61, and Ann Arbor at $3.57. The cheapest average prices are in Flint at $3.42, and Saginaw and Benton Harbor at $3.43.
