MILWAUKEE, WI — It's been a long time coming, but gas prices fell below one dollar for the first time since the late 1990s in Wisconsin.

As of Thursday morning, three gas stations in Wisconsin were selling gas for 99 cents per gallon.

According to the website Gasbuddy, which keeps track of prices across the state, Love's Travel Stop in Elkhorn, the Mobil on Borg Road in Delevan and the Fleet Farm also in Delevan all reported the state's least-expensive fuel for sale.

In fact, Gasbuddy predicted this would happen in Wisconsin, citing a drop in demand for fuel. "Prices are particularly soft around the Great Lakes because there’s no easy way to unload extra supply," Patrick De Haan, the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy said in a MarketWatch report. “The only real way is to offer discounts, and that’s the state we’re in today.”
