-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
The Illinois Tollway expects 9.2 million vehicles to pass through the 294-mile system between Friday and Tuesday. In Illinois, gas prices have fallen by about 7 cents over the past two weeks. Last Independence Day weekend, gas prices in Chicago averaged about $5.99 per gallon, according to AAA. On Monday, gas prices within the city averaged $4.57 a gallon, nearly $1.50 less compared to last year.

294 miles with little to no choice to bypass the toll system in the most populous areas.If you do red light cameras are everywhere. Once in Wisconsin no TOLLS and roads are in better shape/ cost of gas is less plus sales tax is 5.5% and less carjackings/less shootings is a bonus.
IL travelers will experience fun activities while out of state, including meeting with friends and househunting.
Florida regular gas is $3.25 per gallon.
Are these Illinois gasoline prices supposed to be good news? I hate to tell you JB, but driving all over the South the last few weeks gas prices are a buck fifty lower than Illinois. Even in the upper $2s at Costco and Sam’s Club in many places. Just another way Illinois residents get screwed, don’t know any better, and do nothing about it.
