DEARBORN, MI (AP)-- AAA Michigan says statewide gas prices have dropped about 24 cents a gallon in the last week.

This is the sixth week in a row that the statewide average price has fallen. Statewide prices remain at their lowest level in more than 5 years.
Dearborn-based AAA Michigan surveys fuel costs at 2,800 Michigan gas stations daily. It says the cheapest average price was about $2.07 in the Flint area. The highest price was about $2.46 a gallon in the Marquette area.
The auto club says the Detroit-area average has fallen for the 16th week in a row, to about $2.25 a gallon.
