GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Gas prices continue to drop in Michigan during the month of March. According to AAA, Michiganders are currently paying an average of $1.996, which is 24 cents lower than the national average of $2.237. In Grand Rapids, prices are as low as $1.85.

According to Patrick DeHaan, an expert at Gas Buddy, oil prices have dropped to the lowest cost in ten years and gas prices could still continue to fall.

"You ain't seen nothing yet. There’s more downward potential in the days and weeks ahead. We could go down another 20, 40 cents a gallon," he explained.

DeHaan attributes the sudden drop in price to the coronavirus pandemic, saying it's caused a lower demand for gas and oil.

"We’re not driving as much and that is happening around the globe. Italy, France on lockdown, the Chinese cities were locked down. This is all meaning lower oil demand," he explained.

It's this cheap in DFW. Why are we acting like this is exclusive to the Midwest?

They definitely worded it that way, but I'm not sure they were meaning to act like only the Midwest would be that low.

That’s what it was when I was in college late 80s early 90s.

1.80 is lowest I’ve seen here.

Right before 9/11, it was $1.01 per gallon at a Chevron station where I would normally fill up just inside the Texas border.

It hasn't been sub $1.60 since then.
