Detroit-area
gas
prices
jump 35
cents in
a week

DETROIT
— Gas
prices
in metro
Detroit
have
climbed
about 35
cents
over the
past
week,
bringing
the
average
price of
regular
unleaded
gasoline
to $4.89
a
gallon,
compared
with
$4.54 a
week
earlier,
according
to AAA.
Trouble
at
ExxonMobil’s
Joliet
refinery
in
Illinois
is
contributing
to the
increase.
A
shutdown
of a key
processing
unit has
driven
up
wholesale
gasoline
prices
across
the
Midwest,
putting
additional
pressure
on
drivers
in
Michigan
and
neighboring
states.
ExxonMobil
said it
was
working
to
resolve
the
operational
issue
but did
not
provide
further
details.
Higher
crude
oil
prices
are also
adding
pressure.
Uncertainty
surrounding
the
conflict
in Iran
and oil
shipments
from the
Middle
East has
pushed
oil
prices
higher,
increasing
the cost
of
producing
gasoline,
according
to a
Michigan
State
University
expert.
Michigan’s
statewide
average
stands
at $4.83
a
gallon,
up about
32 cents
from
$4.51 a
week
earlier,
according
to AAA.
Filling
an empty
15-gallon
passenger
vehicle
tank
with
midgrade
gasoline
in metro
Detroit
would
cost
about
$82.10,
based on
AAA’s
Oct. 26
average
of $5.47
per
gallon.
The
statewide
average
for
midgrade
is about
$5.40
per
gallon,
putting
the same
fill-up
at
approximately
$81.
The
15-gallon
tank is
an
example,
not an
average
for all
passenger
vehicles.
The
actual
cost
depends
on the
vehicle’s
tank
capacity
and how
much
fuel
remains.
