The average cost to fill up a 15-gallon gasoline truck is $44 — a $14 decrease from August 2023 when prices were the highest.
"Michigan motorists are seeing lower prices at the pump as the state average falls below $3 a gallon," said Howard Hughey, Public Affairs Director, AAA-The Auto Club Group. "If demand continues to drop, alongside rising gasoline stocks, these gas price declines could continue through the week."
