DEARBORN, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The average price for gas in Michigan has fallen for the second consecutive week.
Drivers in the state are now paying an average of $2.71 per gallon for regular unleaded, four cents less than a week ago. This price is five cents less than this time last month, but still nearly a dollar more than this time last year.
Crude prices have decreased due to continuing market concerns that crude demand will drop as Europe increases restrictions to curb growing COVID-19 infection rates.
“If total domestic stocks of gas continue to increase, and demand does not spike, drivers can expect prices to remain stable through the week,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group.
The national average also decreased despite rising gas demand.
