Gas prices fall below $1 in Michigan
Published January 18, 2016

At some Michigan gas stations on Sunday, drivers could buy a gallon of gas for a couple of quarters – and still get change back.

The uber low prices – recorded as low as 47 cents at one station in Houghton Lake – appeared to be the result of a local price war. Photographs of several stations showed prices below $1, FOX2 reported.

Rough driving conditions in the area of several stations didn’t deter customers on Sunday and police had to help direct traffic due to long gas lines, 9&10News reported.

By Monday morning the super savings appeared to be over and the lowest price was $1.38 at a Kroger in Lambertville, according to GasBuddy.com.
