Yesterday, I went to the Walgreen's and Jewel here in Spring Grove, Illinois,and saw that our rip-off Marathon gas station had raised their gas from $2.20 to $2.40. Sounded like a gas gouge to me, so I quickly drove into McHenry to see if it was true. the Marathon station there was also at $2.40, but the Murphy USA station was still at $2.14, so I filled up the truck.
Later yesterday we drove to Fox Lake, Illinois, and the gas there was also $2.40 at all the stations.
This is the second gas gouge we've had since August 4th. Gas then was $2.08 and jumped in a matter of seconds to $2.38. It had taken the next two weeks for them to drop their prices to $2.19.
It always galls me to see gas go up in price so fast, but then take a real long time to drop back down.
