The Michigan state average is down after jumping 11 cents
DEARBORN, Mich., (July 29, 2019) - Gas prices in Michigan are down after jumping 11 cents to $2.88 per gallon on July 26. Michigan drivers are now paying an average price of $2.85 per gallon for regular unleaded, 4 cents more than a week ago and 4 cents more than this time last month. Still drivers are paying 16 cents less than this same time last year.
Motorists are paying an average of $43 for a full 15-gallon tank of gasoline; a discount of $4 from when prices were their highest last May.
According to the Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) report for the weekend ending on July 19, domestic demand hit 9.67 million b/d. Although it grew from the previous week’s 9.2 million b/d, last week’s rate is below the 9.82 million b/d American motorists used during this time last year. Additionally, total domestic stocks of gas fell slightly to 232.5 million bbl.
"If stocks continue to drop amid low demand, pump prices may continue to decline this week," said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA - The Auto Club Group.
Compared to last week, Metro Detroit’s average daily gas price stayed the same. Metro Detroit’s current average is $2.89 per gallon, the same as last week’s average and 12 cents less than this time last year.
