I knew it was going to happen, but it still hurts. Not complaining too much, though, as at least it is still a little under $3. And for us here in northeast Illinois, that is a real good thing. Part of the reason for the gouge is the annual change to the summer blend of gas for our area, always a great excuse for gas companies to jack prices. Also, I heard something about problems at facilities in the area.
Anyway, on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, gas in Fox Lake was $2.23. I filled up in Round Lake for $2.21 after we had seen prices in Twin Lakes up to $2.40 and one place at $2.50. I figured they were about to jump the prices.
On the 18th, gas in Fox Lake was $2.49, a 26 cent jump! Then on March 20th it was up to $2.79 in Fox Lake. Another 30 cent jump. In two days, gas in Fox Lake jumped 58 cents!!
Still better than the $3.74 it was in Fox Lake a year earlier.
But, Ouch!! --RoadDog

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
