Gas Prices Question

[sraun]

<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?

Fifteen gallon tank, and -- what? -- a $0.15 per gallon difference? I say do the most convenient thing.

If the only difference is 'do I get off the freeway in WI or IL, and go no more than half a block to the gas station?'- which it pretty much is - I see no reason not to try to save the couple of bucks.

Just to be clear once you enter Illinois there are no gas stations that close to the freeway or easily accessible except for the oasis. There are no easy on off options. We've done this trip a lot and the best last place to pee is at the oasis.

Definitely.

To me, the major cost is the time required to get on and off the freeway; I get gas at the same time I get food.
