Illinois’ 2nd-highest gas taxes drive motorists, business across state lines – Illinois Policy

Crossing the state line is the difference between paying the nation’s second-highest and second-lowest gas taxes. And for Illinois gas station owners near state lines, it means losing business. “It’s like a tale of two cities,” said Robert Forsyth, president of MotoMart Inc. “Missouri is doing quite well in terms of fuel demand. And Illinois is doing quite poorly.”

Living close to the Wisconsin border I buy 95% of my gas there. The best price savings so far was $0.94 cents per gallon. We usually combine grocery shopping, lunch and a fuel stop. Jabba the Pritzger is bragging about saving $2.00 after buying 100 gallons, I save $6 to $10 every fill up.
