Gasoline prices in Michigan have dropped 21 cents since last week, averaging $4.17 a gallon, AAA-The Auto Group announced Monday.
That is 61 cents less than a month ago and $1.28 higher compared to the same time in 2025, officials said.
GasBuddy reported the national price Monday at $4.09, an 18-cent decline since last week. The price in Detroit is about $4.18 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 $63 for a full 15-gallon tank, AAA reported.
Why the price is dropping
“Average gasoline prices declined in virtually every state over the last week as oil prices continued to fall, with crude approaching $90 per barrel and refiners ramping up output following seasonal maintenance,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
“The combination of lower oil costs and improving refinery runs has kept downward pressure on pump prices, giving motorists a welcome reprieve. However, the future of prices remains murky. With the Strait of Hormuz remaining effectively closed, global oil supplies continue to tighten, and any further deterioration in the situation could send prices sharply higher. For now, motorists may enjoy the savings at the pump, but the risk of a significant reversal has not gone away.”
The gas company reported the national average price of diesel dipped 14 cents compared to a week ago, to $5.30 per gallon.
The highest, lowest prices in Michigan
GasBuddy said Detroit’s pump price is 57 cents lower than last month and $1.04 per gallon higher than a year ago.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Detroit was $3.59. The lowest in the state was priced at $3.36 Sunday, while the most expensive in the city and state reached $5.99.
Metro Detroit’s current average is $4.23 per gallon, AAA said. That is 16 cents less than last week and $1.08 above the same time a year ago.
The most expensive gas price averages are in Ann Arbor ($4.25), Metro Detroit ($4.23) and Traverse City ($4.22).
The least expensive prices are in Flint ($3.95), Lansing ($3.96) and Marquette ($4.02).
“Michigan drivers continue to see lower prices at the pump, with the state average dropping 61 cents over the past month,” said Adrienne Woodland, AAA’s spokesperson, in the release.
