Trend in Gas Prices Finally Reverses

The average price of a gallon of gas in Michigan went down five cents over the past week, according to AAA.

Michigan’s statewide average is $1.96 per gallon.

That’s not only down a nickel from last week, it’s 49 cents less than this same time last year.

However, it’s also the first time in seven weeks that the statewide average has decreased.

Among the markets surveyed, the lowest price is in the Lansing area at $1.91.

The highest is in Marquette at $2.05.
