They got a bit ahead of themselves. Futures trading was up to $2.89/gallon and still going up just before the relaxation of the boutique gas requirements.

It also depends on exactly where in Chicagoland that gas station was. There are some places that, for whatever reason (there are, IIRC, local gas taxes in Illinois, and gas is also subject to varying local sales taxes there), are always $0.10-$0.20/gallon higher than the rest of the area.

I paid $2.55 yesterday.
