About gas prices in Michigan
Michigan's gas tax is around 31 cents per gallon, with a 6 percent sales tax also applied to fuel sales (one of the few states that double-taxes gas this way). The state pulls supply from refineries in Detroit and across the Ohio and Indiana border, with prices in the Upper Peninsula often running 15 to 30 cents higher than the Lower Peninsula due to longer supply lines from Wisconsin or Marathon's Detroit refinery. Speedway, Costco, Sam's Club, and Meijer Gas are the consistent best prices, especially in the Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Lansing metros.
