The Interview: Possible recession from tariff fallout?
Dr. Michael Greiner from Oakland University talks to Hilary Golston about possible fallout from newly implemented tariffs.
(FOX 2) - After setting a new high for 2025, Michigan motorists will see their gas prices drop across the state this week.
It's about 21 cents more than this time last month, but much cheaper than costs that were around this time last year.
Big picture view:
Michigan motorists are paying an average of $3.23 per gallon of regular gas this week.
That's according to AAA, which tracks gas prices in Michigan. The average for a 15-gallon tank of gas this week comes out to about $48, which is about $9 less than the highest price that gas reached in 2024.
The drop in gas prices comes after the state set a new high in 2025 the cost of petrol.
Dig deeper:
According to AAA's spokesperson, gas prices could rise higher in the face of rising costs around the world.
"Drivers across Michigan are seeing the highest gas prices so far in 2025," said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group. "Pump prices will likely face upward pressure if gasoline stocks continue to decrease as oil prices increase."
Additionally, the volume of crude oil the U.S. has stocked up is down 4% from the five-year average for this time of year.
