Gasoline prices in Michigan have climbed a single cent since last week, averaging $4.17 a gallon, AAA-The Auto Group announced Monday.
That is 11 cents less than a month ago and 84 cents higher compared to the same time in 2025, officials said.
GasBuddy reported the national price Monday at $4.01, a 3-cent drop since last week. The price in Detroit is about $4.14 a gallon, down a nickel from last week, according to the Dallas-based fuel tracker's survey of 1,734 stations in the city.
Motorists in Michigan are paying an average of $62 for a full 15-gallon tank. That represents an increase of about $11 from last August's high, AAA reported.
"Average gasoline prices fell in slightly more than half of states over the last week while diesel declined in roughly half, as oil prices moved lower and offered some modest relief at the pump," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, in a statement.
"Over the weekend, the Trump administration struck a major deal with Venezuela, a signal that the White House remains concerned about elevated fuel prices, though in reality, any benefits from increased Venezuelan output will take years to fully materialize and are unlikely to move the needle in the near term. The factors with the most immediate impact on where prices go from here remain the ongoing developments between the U.S. and Iran and continued Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries, both of which continue to exert outsized influence on global fuel markets. Motorists should expect continued volatility in the weeks ahead."
The Energy Information Administration reported gasoline demand rose from 8.68 million barrels per day to 9.04 million, while total domestic gasoline supply dipped from 209.4 million barrels to 206.8 million. Gasoline production also rose, averaging 9.8 million barrels per day.
The EIA reported crude oil inventories grew by 0.1 million barrels from the previous week. At 428.9 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are 1% above the five-year average for this time of year, officials said.
GasBuddy reported the national average price of diesel fell a penny compared to a week ago, to $5.57 per gallon.
The company said Detroit's pump price is 20 cents lower than last month and 87 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Detroit was $3.67 Sunday, while the most expensive reached $5.84. The lowest price in the state Sunday was $3.65, while the highest was $5.84.
Nationally, GasBuddy's average is down 7 cents from a month earlier and stands 86 cents higher than a year ago, based on data compiled from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering some 150,000 gas stations across the country.
Metro Detroit's current average is $4.17 per gallon, AAA said. That is 4 cents less than last week and 86 cents above the same time a year ago.
The most expensive gas price averages are in Jackson ($4.26), Ann Arbor ($4.22) and Lansing ($4.20).
The least expensive prices are in Marquette ($3.99), Traverse City ($4.04) and Flint ($4.07).
"Michigan gas prices have remained relatively stable ahead of Labor Day weekend, increasing by just one penny from a week ago," said Adrienne Woodland, AAA's spokesperson, in a release. "While this stability is welcome, Michigan drivers will still pay more at the pump this holiday than they did last year. Travelers should budget accordingly and make sure their vehicles are road-trip ready before hitting the road."
