In metro Detroit, prices dropped 5 cents to $3.60 per gallon, which is 2 cents less than this time last year.
Data from the Energy Information Administration found gas demand rose slightly and gas stocks decreased, but a rise in oil prices could push pump prices higher.
"Michigan motorists are finally seeing lower prices at the pump," said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group. "However, a rise in oil prices alongside tight supply could push gas prices higher."
