The current statewide average in Michigan for a gallon of regular unleaded is $2.829 as of today, May, 22, 2006. This is actually down a bit from the average one month ago of $2.898. One year ago we were paying $2.101 per gallon across Michigan.

We took a road trip over the weekend and filled up for $2.69 in Niles. Obviously, I was quite pleased with that price. I would expect prices to gradually spike as the week goes on due to the official start of the summer travel season kicking off over Memorial Day weekend.

My advice, fill up with gas today. I doubt it will get any cheaper in the next few days.
