>Hi George,
>I wish! We've been paying $1.75. As of this morning, it hadn't gone up. Rumors of down-staters paying $4+! Gov Ryan is mad! Our local news (WGN 9) had a representative from the IL Petroleum Retailers, I think, and they laid into him! It was great! There's talk of bringing charges on the gougers. I hope so!
You folks in the Chicago area always pay more for gas we do. Try Indiana, much lower there.< bg >
As of lunch time here, the price at one local retailer went down to $1.28. There was one report of nearly $4.00 per gallon, however, up in Dalton (about 50 miles north of here).
