Tax Infested Gas
Illinois High Gas Prices September 3, 2025
It has been said that the higher the price the better the quality. If that were the case, how many pro athletes signed big contracts and do not produce. How many expensive cars do you see broken down on the side of the road?
But gasoline? I looked to gasbuddy.com, a service to find the cheapest gas prices. Looking around the borders of Illinois we see gas prices like $2.56, $2.57, and $2.60 in Davenport, IA. Thinking this is an anomaly, I looked at Florissant, MO and see prices like $2.82, $2.83, and $2.89. Checking Chesterfield, IN $2.72, $2.75, and $2.77. Ok, Paducah, KY has $2.53, $2.69, and $2.72.
Looking at Illinois in Metropolis that is over the border from Paducah, KY we have $3.25, $3.26, and $3.39. Chicago Heights there is $3.64, $3.69, and $3.89. Granite City has $3.09, and $3.19. Geneseo $3.33, and $3.34.
There is only one explanation for the of price differences of upwards of $.77, $.52, $.92, and $.72.
