DEARBORN, Mich. — If you are gearing up for summer road trips, you may want to move gas prices to the top of your check list.

According to AAA, gas prices in Michigan somewhat declined after setting a new 2021–high of $3.21 per gallon last week.  Drivers are paying an average of $48 for a full 15–gallon tank of gas.

Data from the Energy Information Administration shows gas demand declined from 9.44 million barrels per day to 9.17 million barrels.  Declining gas demand should reduce pump prices but with oil prices increasing, pump prices continue to rise.

According to AAA the most expensive gas price averages are in Metro Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Jackson.  The least expensive gas price averages are Traverse City, Benton Harbor and Marquette.

AAA expects oil prices to continue to rise through the end of summer.
