While gas prices are low nationwide, some stations are slashing the fuel's price to rock-bottom levels to the tune of less than 50 cents a gallon.
The drastic price cuts are part of a gas price war at three Houghton Lake, Mich., stations. During the last three days, the prices dropped below a buck per gallon, falling as low as 46 cents at Sunrise Marathon. Meanwhile, the Beacon & Bridge gas station was as low as 47 cents, said employees of each station in interviews with CNBC. A nearby Citgo says its prices slumped to 95 cents a gallon.
There have been long lines at the stations for most of the weekend, according to the three stations, with police officers directing traffic in the area due to the congestion.
Local stations first reported this news.

Equivalent of 2.31 (U.S.) last time we filled.
This is relatively low but should be more so, obviously.

Just returned from a grocery shopping expedition in LOCH Stevens and noticed prices for
petrol are still $2.39 and higher. WA ST has very high gas taxes per gallon so seeing below
$2 means gas is really cheap elsewhere. Its weird that cheap fuel today comes at a cost
to countries and peoples SS and IRA's. The drop in fuel prices eliminates any COLA money
you were used to getting.
