Gas Prices Question

<sarcasm> For some strange reason, I'm driving to Chicago on Friday. </sarcasm>

For those on my friends list with recent experience - IIRC, I should be able to get most, if not all, of the way to Naperville, IL on a tank of gas. So, I've got two options - fill up just before leaving Wisconsin, or fill up in one of Chicago's western suburbs. Which is my better bet?

WI!WI!

Fill up almost anywhere that isn't Chicago. Our gas prices are always higher than anywhere else from Mpls to here.:P

Are random Chicago higher gas prices higher than Wisconsin freeway gas prices?

Yep. I believe so. If you go to the gas buddy site basically madison gas costs 15 cents a gallon less than chicagoland gas.

Yes. Illinois' gas taxes are much higher than those any of the surrounding states. We're talking 20-30 cents per gallon, I think.

That was certainly the case on our most recent trip to Chicago...
