DEARBORN, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Gas prices in Michigan are up 13 cents compared to last week, a sharp increase to close out 2020.
Michigan drivers are now paying an average price of $2.27 per gallon for regular unleaded. This price is 31 cents more than this time last month but still 23 cents less than this time last year.
“The recent gas price pump spikes are a bit surprising given December demand numbers are the lowest posted for the month since 1999,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group. “The increases are likely to be short-lived, especially as holiday road travel is expected to see at least a 25% decline.”
The most expensive gas price averages this week are in Lansing ($2.32), Jackson ($2.32), Grand Rapids ($2.31), with the least expensive gas price averages in Traverse City ($2.13), Metro Detroit ($2.24), Ann Arbor ($2.26).
