FUEL REPORT: Gas Prices Dip Under $4 a Gallon in Macomb Monday

Gas prices aren't expected to stray too far above $4 a gallon this week, but Macomb Township motorists probably won't see prices drop to last year's $3.71 per gallon average either.

The average cost of a gallon of regular unleaded gas was $3.96 Sunday, down from $4.01 a week ago, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report. This price was up from $3.59 only a month ago.

"If crude oil prices go up and if driving demand continues to increase, we're not going to see a dip in gasoline prices until the end the year, like we normally would," Carl Larry, president of New York-based Oil Outlooks and Opinions, told the Detroit Free Press last week. "Prices are going to stay here. They're not going to go down. We have too many issues."

Prices are falling slightly around Metro Detroit, according to DetroitGasPrices.com, but Macomb Township motorists probably won't see any significant drops this week.
