At $2.02, gasoline prices have hit an all-time record in Illinois. The average price in Chicagoland is $2.10, which is four cents short of the record set in June 2000. Alaron Trading Senior Vice President and market analyst Phil Flynn said he expects prices to increase an additional 15 to 20 cents a gallon by Memorial Day, drop a bit, and then surge again around the Fourth of July. The Illinois average price is seven cents higher than the national average of $1.95 a gallon.

Chicagoist knows that gasoline prices will trickle down into cab, bus, and el fare prices eventually, but we sure are glad we don't have a car right now! For those of you who do have a car, discover which Chicagoland gas stations have the highest and lowest gas prices.
