The Republican-led legislature voted to repeal the state’s 27 cents a gallon tax, not indefinitely but for several months. The average price of a gallon of regular in the state is $4.19 a gallon. If you have a 15-gallon tank, the savings would be $4.05.

As of Friday (March 18), Michigan drivers pay an average of $4.17 for a gallon of regular gas, meaning a 15-gallon fill-up will cost you $62.55. If you drop the 6% sales tax, that cost is cut by $3.75 to $58.80.
