In Metro Detroit, the current average is around 13 cents less than last week, but still 83 cents more than this time last year.

Domestic gasoline supply decreased from 215.1 million barrels to 214.2 million, according to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), while gasoline demand increased from 8.73 million barrels per day to 9.21 million.
