Michigan gas prices reached their lowest level since April 2021 until a fire at the BP refinery in Whiting pushed up prices in parts of Mid-Michigan—GasBuddy said the wholesale price increased by 25 cents per gallon.
Analysts expect prices to drop gradually to between $2.40 and $2.80 per gallon over the next one or two weeks if no further issues occur.
