Do you have anything to back this up?

It's conjecture.

I can give anecdote from St Louis region, which has ~40-50% of Missouri's population. Gas prices here are around $1.60

I live in one of the large metros in Ohio, prices are all still $1.30-1.50/gallon here. Like most of the locations in the article, I would guess the sub-dollar prices are very isolated locations or special circumstances (no-tax native american reservations like I saw in other comments?)

$1.07 in the Dayton area...

You missed the point.
