Several gas stations in Houghton Lake waged a price war last weekend, bringing gas to well below $1 a gallon for the first time in years. Gas Buddy reported on Sunday that the lowest price was 78 cents/gallon, but it fell even lower to 47 cents, before rising again. On Wednesday, the price was $1.31 in Houghton Lake, which is in central northern Michigan.

In Cedar Springs, gas was at $1.67 Wednesday (at press time), which was also the average in Michigan.
