Michigan gas prices rise 13 cents to $3.23 per gallon

Gas prices in Michigan have seen a notable increase, with the average price for regular unleaded fuel rising to $3.23 per gallon, up 13 cents from the previous week and 21 cents more than last month. This marks the highest gas prices recorded in 2025 so far, although drivers are still paying 32 cents less compared to the same time last year. The most expensive gas is found in Benton Harbor and Ann Arbor at $3.28, while Traverse City offers the lowest at $3.04. The increase in prices is attributed to a decrease in gasoline stocks and rising oil prices, leading AAA to predict ongoing upward pressure on prices if these trends continue. Nationally, the average gas price has also risen to $3.25, reflecting similar patterns of rising costs driven by refinery maintenance and market instability. Motorists are encouraged to utilize strategies like shopping around for better prices and combining errands to save on fuel costs.
