Gas prices surge across Metro Detroit


We're picking our jaws up off the floor after Metro Detroit's gas prices jumped last week. Why it matters: Higher prices are squeezing household budgets - and can carry political consequences. • While the war in Iran is the main culprit for rising prices, a recent outage at the BP refinery in Whiting, Indiana, is also to blame. The latest price is as of May 1, 2026. Data: GasBuddy; Chart: Annalise Frank/Axios The latest: The average regular unleaded gas price in Metro Detroit was $4.82 as of noon Monday, up nearly 66 cents from last week's average of $4.17, per GasBuddy data.<
