Tech Loop snagged a photo of this historic event, just because nobody would believe it without photo evidence. The photo that you see below was taken at the Speedway on the corner of Roscoe and Damen. Sure, it's only $.001 below two bucks, but we're just excited because we can't remember the last time we saw a 1 on a Chicago gas station sign. This is big news for the city that has consistently held the coveted honor of having the nation's highest gas prices.

Sorry this isn't tech related - we're just really excited! You saw it here first:

This is going to last for all of two seconds...

Have you found cheap gas in the city too? Tell us about it!
