Streator is a bit of a lost town.......miles off of ANY expressway etc.(you would THINK more costly to deliver to)  MEANWHILE  Still a buck 90 something in Ottawa here, right along I-80

And here I thought our gas was cheap.  Not so I see.  Now I am jealous of you all.  Here in NC
with our high gas tax, it is $2.21 today.

Does your state use the gas tax to pay for road and bridge upkeep?  That's what states need to start doing.  I wouldn't mind paying higher gas taxes if it would go to keeping roads and bridges well maintained.

I'm paying $2.33. I am surprised by the low rate in Illinois because when I lived there just a year ago they had some of the highest prices in the country.

We are at 2.27 here in ma. I would love to see numbers under 2.

Here in Illinois, they add a tax for about anything to the price of gas...LOL...but yes, roads,etc are a part of it......the difference in gas prices between here and Iowa is basically the difference in state taxes added...........likely the difference in most other states too....now Chicago??....geez Louise, there the added taxes are just crazy............very crazy...
