			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.
