Chicago is $2.99 for regular. I’m about 35 miles northwest of Chicago. Here regular is 2.69/ gallon and they want to add 4 cents per gallon tax to help pay for roads. That’s on top of the .19 cent tax increase that went into place July 1st!
Got to love Illinois!
Don't kid yourself... Our gas prices are what they are BECAUSE of taxes. They keep raising fuel taxes to "fix the roads", then divert the funds elsewhere. The bonehead UN-informed voters of the state voted in a real beauty last year, allowing the state to raise the gas tax any time they see fit, and basically spend it on anything they like w/o having to put it out for a vote. This is what happens when you have a state where more people vote for a living than work for a living.
