Much better prices in cheeseheadland.
Aye, just trying to figure out our budget for the summer road trip and figured Chicago would be the most expensive place to fill up as we should be able to clear CT before needing a top up and can't imagine VA/VW being to monstrous and should then be able to get to OH/IN before another couple tank fill ups.

Well, given that it just went up to $4.19 up here, I'd be expecting it to be a bit more closer to the city.

I never go near it, unless I have to go to the airport though, so I can't be too sure.

It was that here not too long ago. Of course, it was probably $2.89 by you then ...

I started filling up at 1/4 tank left so it wouldn't feel quite so bad, other wise it would be about $65 or so.
