Illinois Fuel Prices Slip but Remain High

Gas prices are easing slightly in Illinois, but drivers are still paying far more than they were just weeks ago. AAA reports the statewide average for a gallon of regular unleaded dropped two cents Wednesday to $4.74. That’s still 46 cents higher than one month ago, and $1.37 above the price from this time last year. Across the border in Indiana, the average is much lower at $3.83 a gallon — 91 cents below Illinois. Nationwide, AAA puts the average at $4.43, keeping Illinois well above the national mark as motorists continue watching prices closely.
