DEARBORN, MI— Continuing to move in a downward direction from a unprecedented stretch of record prices at the pump, gas prices in Michigan are down 11 cents from a week ago.

AAA Michigan says drivers are now paying an average of $5.06 per gallon for regular unleaded. That’s 50 cents more than this time last month and $1.95 more than this time last year.

The most expensive gas price average is in the Metro Detroit area, at $5.16 a gallon. The least expensive average is in the Traverse City and Benton Harbor areas, at $4.94.
