Stopped at Iowa 80 Saturday – $4.41 for regular. Felt good to fill up before crossing into IL.

Thankfully after moving from Chicago to a much more rural spot in Illinois, we are close to the Wisconsin border. Gas the other day was $0.83 cents a gallon cheaper there than the gas in Taxinois. I saved almost $10 on my purchase in one stop. Pigsters solution is spend $500 on a 100 gallons of gas and save $2.00.
