Some US Gas Prices Are Now under $1 Per Gallon; Gas Glut Due to COVID-19 Restrictions Cuts Cost

Gasoline prices in the U.S. have fallen significantly in recent weeks -- to less than a dollar per gallon in some places -- as there has been a huge decrease in drivers on the road due to coronavirus-related restrictions, the UPI website reports today (April 17, 2020).

AAA said today the national average for a gallon of gas is $1.83 -- a decline of 41 cents per gallon from a month ago and a full dollar cheaper than the average price a year ago.

The cheapest gasoline is being sold in the Midwest, where the cost per gallon is $1.50 or less in seven states, according to AAA.

Wisconsin has the least expensive regular gas in the U.S., at an average of $1.25 per gallon. But several locations are selling fuel for less than a dollar per gallon, including Milwaukee and Waukesha, Wisconsin.
