Gas prices are so low you’ll be wishing you could take a road trip. GasBuddy.com says that gas prices dropped to a national average of $1.89 yesterday (March 9th), down from $2.38 one month ago. The AAA reports that last year at this time the average cost for a gallon of gas was $2.75.
Wisconsin currently has the lowest statewide average at $1.39, followed by $1.45 in Oklahoma, and $1.51 in Ohio. Two gas stations in Wisconsin are offering gas for $0.79 per gallon, the lowest price in the country. Hawaii currently has the highest priced gas at $3.31. The prices have taken a dip for two reasons: one, that many across the U.S. have been issued stay-at-home policies amid the pandemic, so demand has lowered, and also that a recent crude oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia has lowered the cost.
