I will be driving to Chicago to see family and friends, it usually takes me a little under 4 hours but I am expecting to be on the road 6 to 8.

The good news if you driving is gas has gone down quite a bit in the last month. 4 weeks ago I noticed the gas station down the street from me at $3.33 a gallon. This morning it was $2.87.

 

Michiganders are now paying on average $3.25 per gallon for regular, unleaded gasoline according to wilx.com. This is 14 cents less than last month, but still $1.21 more than last year. Drivers are paying, on average, $48 for a 15-gallon tank of gas, a $9 increase from.

The Most expensive gas price average in the Michigan area is in Marquette ($3.38), Ann Arbor ($3.35), Traverse City ($3.34.

The least gas price averages: Grand Rapids ($3.13), Benton Harbor ($3.17), Lansing ($3.17).

I saw it at 2.87 as I said this morning off Jolly Road in Lansing so hopefully gas will go down even more as we get closer to Christmas.  Let's drive safe this holiday season kids.
