I'd be willing to bet good money that if I were to hop on Interstate 80 (2 miles from my house) and head West for about 45 minutes or so, I'd find $3.05/gal gas. Then again, any "savings" I'd get at fill-up time would be gone by the time I drove 45 minutes back home...
I was not trying to challenge your decision to get last gas at $3.09—I was trying to pass along some useful information. When gas prices rise, the GasBuddy app is helpful. Surprising that gas is higher where you are with Lemont area and all the refinery operations there...
Actually, I am in Central DuPage...IS that West of Southwest suburbs?
I was really asking for and wanting some sources for your comments about gas prices going up to $4.+ and tankers being rerouted, and thot I was being helpful mentioning what I am paying and using the app.
Have a nice rest of your day.
