Michigan gasoline prices have fallen 12 cents since last week, averaging $4.03 a gallon, AAA-The Auto Group said Tuesday.
The price is 17 cents lower than a month ago but 85 cents higher than at the same time last year, the insurance company said.
GasBuddy on Tuesday reported the national price at $4.09, an 1.8-cent increase since last week.
The price in Detroit is about $4.07 a gallon, down 6 cents 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 $60 for a full 15-gallon tank, an increase of about $9 from 2025's highest price last August, AAA said.
It attributed the decline to a decrease in demand for gasoline. AAA cited Energy Information Administration data that reported demand fell from 9.04 million barrels per day to 8.92 million.
Meanwhile, the total domestic gasoline supply decreased from 206.8 million barrels to 205.7 million, the federal agency said. It also said U.S. gasoline production stayed the same as last week, averaging 9.8 million barrels per day.
"Motorists across Michigan saw some relief at the pump over Labor Day weekend, as the statewide average took a double-digit drop," said Adrienne Woodland, spokeswoman for AAA.
Metro Detroit's average daily gas price decreased, according to AAA. The area's current average is $4.11 per gallon, about 5 cents less than last week's average but still 85 cents more than this same time last year.
Michigan's most expensive gas price averages are in Ann Arbor ($4.12), Metro Detroit ($4.11), and Marquette ($4.04).
The state's least expensive gas prices are in Grand Rapids ($3.89), Flint ($3.91), and Saginaw ($3.96).
