AAA Michigan: Statewide Gas Prices Slide Seven Cents

AAA Michigan says the statewide average daily gas price has dropped seven cents from last week. Michigan's current statewide average is about $2.17 per gallon.

Of the ten Michigan metro areas surveyed for self-serve unleaded fuel prices, the lowest average prices can be found in the Grand Rapids/Muskegon/Holland area where it's about $2.07 per gallon. The highest averages are in the Marquette area where it's about $2.27 per gallon. Gas prices in and around the Flint area were averaging $2.10 as of Sunday.

AAA says Michigan ranks second in the nation for largest weekly decrease in average gas prices. However, gas prices in the Great Lakes region are typically the most volatile. AAA adds that gas prices are likely to remain low for the remainder if the summer compared to recent years.
