After hitting their lowest point per gallon since April 2021 last week, gas prices in Michigan jumped 29 cents from a week ago, according to AAA. 

On average, Michiganders are paying $3.08 per gallon for regular unleaded fuel, which is 2 cents more than this time last month but 5 cents less than at the same time last year. 

"Motorists across Michigan are seeing much higher prices at the pump, with the state average going back above $3 a gallon," said Adrienne Woodland, AAA spokesperson.

A 15-gallon tank of gas costs motorists about $46, which is around $11 less than the highest price drivers paid in July 2024. 

In Metro Detroit, drivers are paying about $3 per gallon, which is 16 cents more than last week but 20 cents less than at the same time a year ago. 

The most expensive gas prices in the state can be found in Lansing ($3.15), Ann Arbor ($3.13) and Saginaw ($3.13), according to AAA, while the cheapest prices are in Traverse City ($2.86), Marquette ($2.94) and Metro Detroit ($3).

AAA offers the following tips to save on gas: 

•    Combine errands to limit driving time.
•    Shop around for the best gas prices in your community.
•    Consider paying cash. Some retailers charge extra per gallon for customers who pay with a credit card.
•    Remove excess weight in your vehicle.
•    Drive conservatively. Aggressive acceleration and speeding reduce fuel economy.
•    Enroll in savings programs. AAA Members who enroll in Shell's Fuel Rewards program can save 5 cents per gallon when they fill up at Shell.
