It’s a good news/bad news report on gas prices this week in Washtenaw County.
On the negative side of the coin, gas prices in Washtenaw County have shot up over the past week. AAA Michigan’s spokesperson, Adrienne Woodland, says the hike in gas prices is because of a fluctuation in crude oil prices and more people driving so demand is up.
As a result, she says, in Washtenaw County, gas prices went up by some 11% in just one week.
"In Ann Arbor, you guys are one of the more higher areas in the state at $3.66 a gallon for regular unleaded."
On the positive side, she says, that $3.66 a gallon is significantly lower than what we were paying a year ago this week. Back in June 2022, she says, we were paying $5.27 a gallon – that’s $1.61 more than we’re paying this week.
