Why is gas so expensive in Michigan?
I’m going to visit family in Michigan in a few weeks and have been looking at gas prices since I’m driving. Why are they so expensive?
Andrea Barrett · Updated on

Gas prices have risen dramatically across the globe, and driving has become unaffordable for many people. Gas is so expensive in
Michigan
for several reasons, including: - Increasing demand for fuel
- Volatile supply and demand
- Russia invading Ukraine
- Saudi-Russian brokered cap on oil production
The average gas price in Michigan is $5.049 per gallon for regular unleaded and $5.954 per gallon for diesel—substantially higher than average rates at the same time last year. But it’s no wonder there’s serious sticker shock for Michigan drivers—last year, gas was at just $3.108 for a gallon of regular unleaded gas.
While saving on fuel might not be the most reasonable ask right now, there are other ways to save—like on car insurance. When you shop with
Jerry
