GAS PRICE CHECK-IN!
You know the drill -- where are you from, what's the price, what did it go up or down from to get there?

Peoria, IL, $2.099, up from $1.959

18. true, but it does increase at an incredible rate here as well
While the tax can be blamed for the high price level, it can't be blamed for the increase.
Even removing all eco taxes would just bring down the price to the one we had in march - assuming that the companies would actually lower the end-consumer price accordingly, what they didn't do in the past.

31. $2.39!!!!!!!
At this rate, I might as well pump my own blood into the tank and save the trouble of eventually having to sell bodily fluid for gas money.
