According to a report released by AAA this morning, fuel costs have gone down an average of eight cents per gallon around St. Clair County since the Fourth of July weekend . Putting us now at $3.43 for regular unleaded. Exactly what we were paying before the holiday. Pump prices around the state have also dropped seven cents in the past week. Making Michigan’s average price per gallon $3.47. AAA says a decline in fuel stocks this week is responsible for the lower prices paid at the pumps. However, they also warn that rising demand and a decreasing fuel supply will likely push gasoline costs higher in the coming weeks.
