The Michigan legislature has extended Executive Order 2026-4, allowing gas stations to continue selling lower-cost gasoline throughout the summer to provide relief from high prices. Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced the extension, which prevents the waiver from expiring on July 1.
Governor Whitmer said, "Michiganders have been grappling with high gas prices driven by the war in Iran. They’re paying a dollar more per gallon than they were three months ago." The executive order relaxes Michigan’s summer fuel requirements, offering motorists savings of 10 to 20 cents per gallon by providing access to the same lower-cost fuel available elsewhere in the state.
"Today, the legislature extended the state of energy emergency for the rest of the summer. This was the right move to lower costs for Michiganders and provide relief at the pump," Governor Whitmer added. She expressed gratitude for bipartisan cooperation in both legislative chambers, emphasizing continued efforts to benefit Michiganders financially.
