For once they've gone down quite a bit over the last week. The Speedway in Gurnee was at $3.93 this evening (and was packed), but still cost me $25 to fill slightly less than half of the tank.

I use Diesel and it's $4.89 at the Mobil I go to. Cheapest is at Speedway, $4.69.

I believe gas is about $4.08 at Speedway.

in Carpentersville on Randall Road there is Woodmans, they dont accept credit cards and because of that they sell gas for $3.95.

For anyone venturing into IN at Exit 240 at the Flying J and Gas City gas runs you $3.71 as gallon as of last night.

I meant the truck itself, in the other thread it sounded like a pretty nice vehicle.

^Oh, the total cost was about $42,000. Without the employee pricing and other discounts they gave me, it would have been closer to $50,000 probably.
