DEARBORN, MI— Gas prices in Michigan are up 2 cents from last week. Michigan drivers are now paying an average of $4.19 per gallon for regular unleaded. This price is 70 cents less than this time last month but still $1.10 more than this time last year.

Motorists are paying an average of $63 for a full 15-gallon tank of gasoline; an increase of about $12 from 2025's highest price last August.

According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand increased from 8.59 million b/d to 8.73 million. Total domestic gasoline supply increased from 215 million barrels to 215.1 million. Gasoline production increased last week, averaging 9.7 million barrels per day.

At the close of Friday’s formal trading session, WTI fell $2.83 to settle at $84.88 a barrel. The EIA reports crude oil inventories decreased by 7.2 million barrels from the previous week. At 426.5 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 5% below the five-year average for this time of year.

"Michigan drivers are seeing a slight increase at the pump, with gas prices up about two cents from last week," said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group. "While the change is modest, it’s a reminder that fuel prices remain volatile and can shift quickly."

Compared to last week, Metro Detroit’s average daily gas price increased slightly. Metro Detroit’s current average is $4.25 per gallon, about 2 cents more than last week’s average and $1.10 more than this same time last year.
