Gas prices are up slightly this week, but still considerably lower than a month ago. Triple-A Michigan’s Nancy Cain says the statewide average is $2.77.

“That’s 2¢ more than this time last week, but 20¢ less than it was a month ago,” Cain says. She says the drop is due to falling crude oil prices, ample supply, and a decrease in demand as we get into the pre-winter season. The average in the Benton Harbor-St. Joseph is currently $2.73, up a fraction of a penny from last week and 24¢ lower than last month. GasBuddy says South Haven’s prices are as low as $2.62. The area’s pump prices are among the lowest in the state.
