aaa-1DEARBORN, Mich., (September 23, 2019) - Gas prices in Michigan are down after jumping 22 cents to $2.78 per gallon on September 18. Michigan drivers are now paying an average price of $2.74 per gallon for regular unleaded 17 cents more than a week ago and 5 cents more than this time last month. Despite the increase, drivers are still paying about 15 cents less than this same time last year.

Motorists are paying an average of $41  for a full 15-gallon tank of gasoline; a discount of $6 from when prices were their highest last May.

According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), for the week ending on September 13, demand dropped by 900,000 b/d from the previous week to 8.9 million b/d. Additionally, total domestic stocks increased by 800,000 bbl to 229.7 million bbl. Typically, these market shifts would push pump prices down, but increased oil prices – a result of attacks on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia – have pushed pump prices up.

Adrienne Woodland"The Michigan state average has slowly declined for the past few days, signaling that pump prices are likely stabilizing," said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA - The Auto Club Group.

Compared to last week, Metro Detroit’s average daily gas price increased. Metro Detroit’s current average is $2.77 per gallon, about 9 cents more than last week’s average but 16 cents less than this time last year.
