In metro Detroit, AAA reports prices are up 13 cents to $3.46 per gallon, which is 40 cents less than this time last year.

Data from the Energy Information Administration found gas demand saw a big jump while gas stocks decreased, meaning higher demand and tighter supply is leading to a rise in prices.

"Michigan motorists are seeing much higher prices at the pump compared to last week," said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group. "If demand continues to grow, alongside tightening supply, drivers are likely to see gas prices continue to rise."
