DEARBORN, MI (AP)--   AAA Michigan says average gas prices statewide are up about 7 cents from a week ago to about $2.87 per gallon. 

The Dearborn-based auto club says Monday the average price for self-serve regular unleaded is about 13 cents less than a year ago. AAA notes that prices in Michigan have fluctuated in recent weeks, but they'll likely rise this week during the run-up to the Memorial Day holiday.

The lowest was about $2.84 in the Traverse City and Marquette areas.

Prices in the Detroit area were about $2.86 per gallon, up about 4 cents from a week ago.
