Gas price fell to 47 cents per gallon at one Michigan site
An apparent gas price war in one northern Michigan location briefly sent prices to a back-to-the-'60s low — 47 cents a gallon — according to GasBuddy and area TV stations.

Lucky motorists in Houghton Lake, Mich., were able to fuel up with the ultra-low-price regular gas Sunday at the Beacon and Bridge Market. Prices fluctuated, but at one point dropped to 77 cents a gallon, according to GasBuddy and area TV stations. Later, they briefly hit a low of 47 cents a gallon according to GasBuddy and a staffer at the location.

The cost, well below the $1.89-a-gallon national price, appeared to stem from local competition. A Marathon gas station also located in Houghton Lake also sold fuel for 95 cents a gallon on Sunday, GasBuddy reported.
