Gas prices in Michigan have climbed 9 cents since last week, averaging $4.10 a gallon, AAA-The Auto Club Group announced Monday.
That is 42 cents less than a month ago and 82 cents higher compared to the same time in 2025, officials said.
GasBuddy reported the national price Monday at $3.78, a 7-cent drop since last week. The price in Detroit is about $4.11 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 $62 for a full 15-gallon tank, AAA reported.
What’s behind the trend
“Average gasoline prices fell in 46 states over the last week, with diesel declining in 49, pushing the national average to its lowest level since mid-March,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
“The declines came despite a turbulent week, as fresh attacks were traded between the U.S. and Iran before both sides agreed to halt hostilities just in time Sunday, preventing what could have been a significant spike in oil prices. For now, GasBuddy anticipates the national average will continue drifting lower this week, though the situation remains anything but predictable. A handful of price-cycling states could see prices jump ahead of the July 4 holiday, while many states that already cycled higher last week should see prices fall back down. Motorists in non-cycling states are likely to see continued relief, but the fragile nature of the U.S.-Iran situation means the outlook could shift quickly.”
The company reported the national average price of diesel at $4.88, a decline of 11 cents compared to a week ago.
GasBuddy said Detroit’s pump price is 30 cents lower than last month and 86 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Detroit was $3.37. The lowest in the state was priced at $3.37 Sunday, while the most expensive in the city reached $5.19 and the most expensive in the state reached $5.64.
Metro Detroit’s current average is $4.14 per gallon, AAA said. That is 2 cents more than last week and 86 cents above the same time a year ago.
The most expensive gas price averages are in Ann Arbor ($4.16), Metro Detroit ($4.14) and Jackson ($4.12).
The least expensive prices are in Marquette ($3.72), Traverse City ($3.98) and Flint ($4.04).
“Michigan drivers are seeing higher gas prices as we head into a busy Fourth of July travel week,” said Adrienne Woodland, AAA’s spokesperson, in a release. “With ongoing volatility at the pump and prices still above last year, planning ahead can help travelers manage fuel costs. Tools like AAA’s gas cost calculator and mobile app can help drivers find savings and make the most of their holiday budget.”
