Gas prices continue to drop
Michigan gas prices fell again, though the average for an unleaded gallon of gas is still $1.04 more than this time last year.
According to AAA, the average for an unleaded gallon of gasoline is now $4.24, down 20 cents from last week. This is 76 cents less than this time last month.
A spokesperson for AAA said that this drop is despite an increase in demand. If the demand continues to increase, the price drop drivers have been seeing is expected to slow down.
