It's been nearly two years since gas prices were this low throughout the greater Chicago area, according to Chicago Tribune. What's the reason for this seemingly fantastical fuel miracle? Oil supplies have gone up, but demand has gone down, experts say.

Snag the less than $2 a gallon fuel while you can, though, as OPEC may soon opt to limit production. Nevertheless, Chicago Tribune reports that prices should stay under $3 a gallon for awhile.
