Gasoline prices in Michigan have dropped 18 cents since last week, averaging $4.01 a gallon, AAA-The Auto Group announced Monday.
That is 73 cents less than a month ago and 72 cents higher compared to the same time in 2025, officials said.
GasBuddy reported the national price Monday at $3.85, a 14-cent drop since last week. The price in Detroit is about $4.08 a gallon, according to the Dallas-based fuel tracker’s survey of 1,734 stations in the city.
Motorists in Michigan are paying an average of $60 for a full 15-gallon tank, AAA reported.
“Average gasoline prices declined in nearly every state over the last week, while all 50 states saw average diesel prices move lower,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
“However, the outlook is far from settled. New uncertainty has emerged after Iran suggested the Strait of Hormuz was closed, along with fresh warnings that the U.S. could again strike Iran, developments that could push oil prices higher in the days ahead. Despite this, gasoline prices aren’t yet at significant risk of a spike, as some vessels have continued to move through the Strait. Still, should the situation worsen or escalate further, motorists could see that risk change quickly.”
The company reported the national average price of diesel dipped 19 cents compared to a week ago, to $4.99 per gallon.
GasBuddy said Detroit’s pump price is 56 cents lower than last month and 81 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Detroit was $3.39. The lowest in the state was priced at $3.38 Sunday, while the most expensive in the city and state reached $5.19.
Metro Detroit’s current average is $4.12 per gallon, AAA said. That is 13 cents less than last week and 83 cents above the same time a year ago.
The most expensive gas price averages are in Metro Detroit ($4.12), Ann Arbor ($4.12) and Jackson ($3.95).
The least expensive prices are in Grand Rapids ($3.83), Traverse City ($3.84) and Marquette ($3.90).
“Michigan drivers are getting some relief at the pump, with gas prices falling to their lowest level since April,” said Adrienne Woodland, AAA’s spokesperson, in a release. “While lower prices are welcome news, market conditions remain unpredictable and gas prices can change quickly.”
