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?

Date: 2010-06-16 02:56 pm (UTC)Their US gas prices map (http://www.twincitiesgasprices.com/Price_By_County.aspx) shows a jump in $.08 range crossing the border. Yes, it could be a $.00 difference, but it could also be a $.16 difference. I saw evidence that the map is being generated in near real-time, the ranges are selected to match the display.
A history comparison of Madison vs. Chicago (http://www.twincitiesgasprices.com/Retail_Price_Chart.aspx) shows Chicago being more expensive by $.08-.16 for the past six months. It graphs by city - that was the closest pair I could find.
