A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Quick hop over the stateline to Wisconsin and saved $0.35 cents a gallon. 15 gallons @ .35 saved $5.25 in one trip. Buy 100 gallons in Illinois with the “gas tax pause” and save $2.00. Thanks JB.
Rockford $4.14 but $3.39 in Beloit at Kwik Trip,Casey’s and a few others. If you use the Kwik Trip card you save 3 cent more and the food is pretty good.They also have deal if you purchase X amount you get an additional 15 cent discount or more depending on how much and what you buy. They have 4 cashiers always busy. Try to find a Kwik Trip across the border. Check out their app and website. Well worth it.
