Gas Prices

Michigan gas prices are down 6 cents this week compared to last, but metro Detroit remains one of the most expensive areas in the state in which to fill your tank.

Gas demand is estimated to have increased significantly from 7.87 million barrels per day to 8.61 million.

The prices are still about 60 cents less than a year ago.

As more people head back to work following coronavirus lock downs, gas prices are rising alongside commute times.

Michigan drivers are still paying about 94 cents less than they were paying at this time a year ago.

Analysts say the drop is driven by oil prices, and economic disruption from the coronavirus.

The average price Monday morning was $2.817 and rising.

Here in Metro Detroit, the average cost is $2.71.
