DEARBORN, MI— Gas prices in Michigan are up 85 cents from a week ago. Michigan drivers are now paying an average of $4.87 per gallon for regular unleaded. This price is $1 more than this time last month and $1.65 more than this time last year.
Motorists are paying an average of $73 for a full 15-gallon tank of gasoline; an increase of about $22 from 2025's highest price last August.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand increased from 9.05 million b/d to 9.10 million. Total domestic gasoline supply decreased from 228.4 million barrels to 222.3 million. Gasoline production decreased last week, averaging 9.8 million barrels per day.
At the close of Friday’s formal trading session, WTI fell $3.13 to settle at $101.94 a barrel. The EIA reports crude oil inventories decreased by 6.2 million barrels from the previous week. At 459.5 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 1% above the five-year average for this time of year.
"Michigan drivers are feeling the squeeze as gas prices spike 85 cents in one week," said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group. "Until oil prices ease and gasoline stocks rebuild, drivers may continue to feel pressure from higher prices at the pump."
Compared to last week, Metro Detroit’s average daily gas price decreased. Metro Detroit’s current average is $4.83 per gallon, about 76 cents more than last week’s average and $1.66 cents more than this same time last year.
