From the August 19, 2015,Chicago Tribune by Alejandra Cancino.
Picture of Shell Station on Division Street in Chicago with prices: Regular $3.99.9, Plus $4.39.9 and V-Power$4.59.9. In other words: $4, $4.40 and $460.)
In Ft. Lauderdale gas is an average of $2.556. Nationally, it is $2.66. So, why so expensive in Chicago and the Midwest? My brother said it was $2.38 in Goldsboro, North Carolina. Gas Buddy shows gas at $2.30 in Wytheville, Virginia.
We were at the Marathon Station at Ill-173 and Wilmot Road in Spring Grove last Wednesday, August 12th. We filled up for $2.70 and as we pulled out the price was $3.40!! gas in Fox Lake stayed at $3.40 until yesterday when it dropped to $3.36. It can jump up 70 cents in a second, but for some reason takes a REAL long time to go down. makes you wonder.
Here in Chicago metro area, a gallon of gas costs an average of $3.46, up 70 cents from last week.
Chicago area stations depend on gas from British Petroleum's refinery in Whiting, Indiana, and it suddenly sgut down the largest of its three crude distillation units for repairs on August 8.
They won't say what the problem was or when it will go back on line.
My opinion was that this was not necessary and done as a way to increase profits. It will be a long time before I go to a BP station.
