Gasoline prices in Michigan dropped 15 cents since last week, making the average price for regular unleaded gas $3.83, AAA-The Auto Group announced Monday.
The price is 9 cents less than a month ago and 67 cents higher compared with the same time in 2025, officials said. Michigan’s price is 21 cents cheaper than the national average of $4.04 per gallon, AAA reported.
GasBuddy reported the national price at the pump at $3.97 Monday, a 9-cent drop since last week.
Motorists in Michigan are paying an average of $57 for a full 15-gallon tank, AAA reported.
“Average gasoline prices declined in 48 states over the last week, while diesel prices fell in 46 states, offering a welcome break at pumps, with the national average price of gasoline dipping below the $4 per gallon mark over the weekend,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, in a release Monday.
The gas company reports the national average price of diesel at $5.50, a 12-cent decrease compared to a week ago.
“However, that relief may prove fleeting. Oil prices surged in Sunday night trading after Iran re-closed the Strait of Hormuz and President Trump signaled further escalation if Tehran does not come to an agreement. With global oil flows remaining at risk, renewed volatility is taking hold, and the continued back-and-forth is making any lasting resolution increasingly fragile. As a result, gasoline prices are likely to rise again in the days ahead, with diesel expected to follow if disruptions persist, and many of the states that exhibit price cycling could see increases in the next 24-48 hours,” De Haan said.
GasBuddy says Detroit’s pump price is $3.80, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 1,734 stations in Detroit. This is a dime lower than a month ago and 72 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Detroit was priced at $3.37 Sunday while the most expensive in the city and state was $4.89. The lowest price in the state Sunday was $3.34.
Metro Detroit’s current average is $3.84 per gallon, AAA says. That is 8 cents less than last week and 72 cents above the same time a year ago.
The most expensive gas price averages are in Benton Harbor ($3.92), Marquette ($3.89) and Ann Arbor ($3.87).
The least expensive prices are in Flint ($3.69), Saginaw ($3.73) and Jackson ($3.73).
“Michigan drivers are finally seeing some relief at the pump with gas prices falling double digits for the first time since February,” said Adrienne Woodland, AAA’s spokesperson, in the release. “Swings at the pump may not be over, as volatility remains and prices could change quickly.”
