Fuel Report: Gas Prices Fall After Memorial Day High

Memorial Day is over and lucky for us in Birmingham, gas prices are slowly falling.

According to the AAA, the average price for a gallon of gas in Metro Detroit Monday morning is $3.69, down from $3.72 a week ago.

That price is still slightly higher than the national average, $3.65, which is down 16 cents Monday from a year ago. Despite the drops, however, this year's gas prices are the third-highest on record for a Memorial Day weekend.

The highest AAA-recorded price was early May 2011, when we were paying $4.24 a gallon.

Some of the lowest gas prices in and around southeastern Michigan can be found in Westland, at $3.52 a gallon, as well as Eastpointe, at $3.49 a gallon.
