Michigan gas prices down 73 cents since last month, hit lowest price point since April

22 June 2026 at 11:59

While oil and gas prices still remain high as negotiations with the United States and Iran enters a new phase, gas prices in Michigan hit their lowest average since April last week.

Michigan drivers are paying an average of $4.01 per gallon for regular unleaded fuel, down 73 cents from this time last month but up 72 cents from this time last year. Metro Detroit's average sits at $4.12 per gallon, down 13 cents since last week but up 83 cents since last year.

Many drivers we talked to overnight believe that lower prices overall are good, but they are still not satisfied.

Its not enough. I mean, Im happy that its coming down. But, its still not dispute. Like, cause Im a driver and yes it does help a little bit. But, like I said before, its still not enough," said Joseph Moore, a Farmington Hills resident.

"(We're) making sure we put the bare minimum in gas just to get home, to work and then to the store at night. And then, you know, making sure we have enough money left over to buy dinner," said Amanda Ebel, also from Farmington Hills.

I mean, this is nothing. Basically, price means I demand better. I mean, its been many many years not more like than $2.50. Could be maybe eight, nine years. Been small," said Sab Bhatti from Taylor.

While the decline in gas prices for some drivers is great, they know that more certainly has to be done. We'll keep tracking gas prices as the summer continues.

Prosecution rests case in Manslaughter trial for Warren officer in 2024 crash that killed two

10 June 2026 at 10:23

Day five of testimony in jury trial of former Warren police officer James Burke was yesterday. He's accused of slamming his marked patrol vehicle into a white Dodge Durango, killing 34-year-old Cedric Hayden Jr. and 33-year-old Dejuan Pettis.

The prosecution rested their case. However, they maintain that Burke was grossly negligent as he drove 115 miles per hour in a 40-mile-per-zone without emergency lights or sirens.

This was not an emergency run," Macomb County Assistant Prosecutor Cory Newman argued. "Weve heard the testimony. And, it does not exempt him from putting lights on. It only exempts him from making an audible signal.

Burke's defense attorney Marc Curtis argued that Burke was assigned to track down a stolen Jeep detected by flock cameras, and that officers were trained not to turn on emergency lights until absolutely necessary.

The defense called Warren Police detective David Villerot to the stand. He testified that former Officer Burke acted as he was trained to do.

I would do everything I can to save, to gather as much information as intel to not give away specifically my position in that situation," the detective said.

Toxicology expert Dr. Curt Harper also took the stand as a defense witness. Previous medical examiner testimony established that Cedric Hayden Jr. blood alcohol level was 0.198, twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent.

Dr. Harper testified that he independently reviewed Hayden's toxicology reports and subsequently calculated his alcohol intake.

Based on the height, age, weight and sex of the individual, I estimated that it would take approximately seven to eight drinks to reach a 0.198 percent. That is a theoretical calculation assuming that all those drinks are consumed instantaneously," Dr. Harper said.

The defense used Dr. Harper's expert testimony to argue that Hayden was severely intoxicated, which drastically impaired his perception and motor skills. In fact, Michigan law considers any driver with a blood alcohol content of 0.17 percent or higher as super drunk and legally classified as operating while intoxicated with a high blood alcohol content.

Day six of testimony continues later today.
