Deciding when to gas up is like trying to play the stock market. Can you be wise and fill up the tank when prices are lower or will they go higher? Here are the 10 Illinois places with the highest gas prices as of right now.

There's an interesting look at how gas prices in Illinois have changed over the past week by Stacker. The good news is petroleum prices are going down a little bit. The bad news is they're still sky high. Here are the averages for the week in 10 Illinois places that will cost you the most when you fill up the vehicle.

I was looking for trends on Automotive Fleet and they claim that Midwestern states like Illinois could continue to see gas prices falling. The key word is "could". They show many places in America have now dipped down below $3 per gallon, but not most of the places in Illinois.

I try to make educated guesses about when to top off the tank. Most in Illinois that live near the Missouri border will make a quick trip to fill up there where gas prices are easily 30 to 40 cents cheaper per gallon.

Will gas prices go up in Illinois after the election? Good luck trying to figure out that mystery.
