(WNEM) - Michigan drivers are seeing lower gas prices just after the midterm election, according to GasBuddy, but questions remain about how long the decline will last.Prices rose because of refining issues. Those issues have since been addressed, and prices are falling the most in Michigan.Patrick De Haan with GasBuddy said Michigan drivers are still paying more than a dollar more per gallon than at this time last year.According to GasBuddy data, the average price for a gallon of gas in Michigan is about $4.25. The national average is $4.04.De Haan said prices typically fall heading into the holiday season.“It’s looking fairly good right now that prices ahead of Thanksgiving should, in most instances, fall well below the $4 mark,” De Haan said. “Prices could fall to the $3.60s, maybe the $3.50s.”Overseas tensions have had a direct impact on prices at the pump, and the future is uncertain.“I think reality is that we still could see some shakeups,” De Haan said. “If there does become a definitive deal with Iran, that certainly would be good news, and that could lower prices. But we’re not there yet.”If tensions escalate, the downward trend in prices could stop.“Gas prices will kind of follow whatever trajectory we see with the geopolitical tensions,” De Haan said.Gas prices declined the day after the midterm election. De Haan said “correlation does not equal causation.”De Haan said new leadership statewide and nationwide could add pressure on Republicans and Democrats to work together to find a solution.Subscribe to the WNEM TV5 newsletter and receive the latest local news and weather straight to your email every day.</div></body>
