Michigan Gas Prices Rise While The Nation Sees A Drop

Gas prices are on the rise here in Michigan, leaving many feeling the pinch at the pump. Let's break down what this means for your wallet.

I was surprised to learn that Michigan currently has the 12th-highest gas prices in the U.S. on average.  Here's what that looks like when comparing the national average with the state and the city of Kalamazoo, according to Gas Buddy.

• U.S. Gas Price Average: $3.10
• Michigan Gas Price Average: $3.21
• Kalamazoo Gas Price Average: $ 3.10

Kalamazoo is currently mirroring the National average, while the state of Michigan is 11 cents a gallon more.  The main thing that sticks out like a sore thumb when looking at these numbers is comparing this week to last week.

Michigan's average gas price was about 10 cents a gallon less than the U.S. average just a week ago.  Kalamazoo was nearly 20 cents less than the U.S.

What are the average gas prices right now by state?
