Gas prices in Detroit, MI

About gas prices in Detroit, MI

Detroit benefits from in-city refining: Marathon's Detroit refinery is the only major refining capacity in Michigan and supplies about 130,000 barrels per day. Pipeline access via Buckeye and Sunoco Logistics adds to supply diversity. Michigan state gas tax is moderate (around 28 cents per gallon plus sales tax). Reformulated gasoline is required in the metro through summer ozone season. Detroit typically runs slightly above the PADD 2 average because of sales tax stacking but below Chicago. Drivers in suburban Macomb and Oakland counties typically see 10 to 20 cents per gallon savings versus downtown stations. Warehouse club density across the metro is moderate, with Costco locations in Madison Heights and Auburn Hills posting some of the lowest pricing.
