GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Michigan drivers are seeing a little bit of relief at the pump as prices fall below $4 for the first time in almost five weeks.
The average price per gallon is down nine cents compared to last week with drivers paying about $3.95 per gallon for regular unleaded.
The average price per gallon is now down 31 cents compared to last month, but is up $1.16 compared to this time last year. According to AAA, Michigan drivers are paying about $59 on average to fill up a 15-gallon tank of gasoline.
“Motorists are seeing some slight relief at the pump as Michigan gas prices fell below $4 a gallon for the first time in almost five weeks,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group. "If crude oil prices continue to decline, it’s likely that pump prices will follow suit."
