How do you rate? That's $1.02 cheaper than I paid this morning for 92
octane. $3.03.
My horseback guess: $3.50 ashore during peak summer vacation season
this year.
$5 at the fuel dock. I would *love* to be totally wrong on this.

Blue state (Illinois)

But some here are paying less than 2 bucks a gal.

Chuck, do you have some pretty heavy tax on fuel up there?


According to this chart:

Our gas tax is 6 cents per gallon more than yours. Certainly wouldn't
account for $1 difference in price, although if that $2 price is for
unleaded regular it's only about 75-80 cents less than a typical
station around here. Still that's an enormous difference, when
considered as a percentage. Either our prices will soon be coming down,
or the midwest is
getting some sort of temporary special treatment in fuel prices.
