Expect to pay a little more at the pump for holiday travels this week. AAA of Michigan says the statewide average daily gas price has increased about a dime over last week to $2.99 a gallon. That’s about 69 cents more than this same time last year. Of the ten Michigan metro areas surveyed by AAA for self-serve unleaded fuel prices, the lowest average price can be found in the Marquette area where it’s about $2.87 a gallon. The highest average price can be found in the Ann Arbor area for the ninth week in a row, where it’s about $3.06 a gallon. Locally, Port Huron Area Pumps are asking about $2.85 on average for a gallon of regular unleaded.
