I was looking for trends on Automotive Fleet and they claim that Midwestern states like Illinois could continue to see gas prices falling. The key word is "could". They show many places in America have now dipped down below $3 per gallon, but not most of the places in Illinois.

I try to make educated guesses about when to top off the tank. Most in Illinois that live near the Missouri border will make a quick trip to fill up there where gas prices are easily 30 to 40 cents cheaper per gallon.

Will gas prices go up in Illinois after the election? Good luck trying to figure out that mystery.
