Of the cites surveyed by AAA Michigan, the cheapest price for self-serve unleaded fuel can be found in the Traverse City area where its about $3.42 per gallon. The highest average is in the Jackson area where prices are hovering around $3.68 per gallon.

AAA also says demand for gas and prices generally fall in September through the end of the year as people drive less and the refineries begin to produce a less expensive winter-blend. AAA expects gas prices nationally could drop another 10-20 cents per gallon.
