Increasing gas demand amid tightening supply is pushing the national average price higher, AAA reports.
“Michigan motorists continue to see higher prices at the pump, with the state average reaching a new 2024-high,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group. “If demand continues to increase, alongside tight supply, gas prices will likely follow suit.”
AAA shared the following tips to help you save on gas:
- Combine errands to limit driving time.
- Shop around for the best gas price.
- Consider paying cash. Some retailers charge extra per gallon for customers who pay with a credit card.
- Remove excess weight in your vehicle.
- Drive conservatively. Aggressive acceleration and speeding reduces fuel economy.
- Enroll in gas station savings programs.
