No matter if you're living in a Wisconsin county with the highest gas price or the lowest, you are still seeing historically low numbers.

St. Croix County currently has the highest gas price within the state, but it still only sits at $1.64 per gallon.

Those Wisconsinites who are lucky enough to live in Waushara County, though, are seeing gas prices below $1 per gallon. In fact, they're seeing prices of $0.95 per gallon on average.

For those in Milwaukee County, an average gallon of unleaded gas will cost you $1.18. Sheboygan and Ozaukee counties are around the same with prices around $1.25 per gallon.
