This website tracks gas prices in your area
Go to

http://autos.msn.com/everyday/GasStations.aspx?m=1&l=1&zip=60601&x=11&y=7

and you can see the gas prices (and locations of gas stations) in downtown Chicago. To change to your location, simply put your zip code in the box. I felt this could be helpful when trying to find the least expensive place to get gas.

2. Good for you buying blue!
I live in a small town, and don't have many choices. I was amused to see that the Exxon stations were the highest in my area, with BP being the lowest. Just wish there were a Costco or Citgo station, but there aren't.

6. Turns out the Hess station near work is the lowest by 44 cents!
It's selling for 2.359 while the next lowest is 2.799. If I recall, Hess is a blue company.

8. Not Only Is That Attrocious, But Why Even Such Low Octane?????
Edited on Sun Apr-16-06 08:52 PM by OPERATIONMINDCRIME
Here our regular is 87 octane and costs 2.55. Yours is only 85 octane? We don't have anywhere here that would have 85 octane. What is it water?

On Edit: Found this. What a fucking joke. You guys are gettin ripped off big time.
