Rockford back on top - with gas prices

Add comment January 7th, 2008

Not the kind of list you want to top. Rockford’s gas prices have risen above Chicago’s again. We’re at $3.25 a gallon for regular unleaded as of Monday morning, while Chicago is at $3.24. A month ago, Rockford was behind both Chicago and the Quad Cities.

We’re faring better on diesel prices: at $3.50 a gallon , we’re fourth in the state, behind Chicago, the Quads and Danville.

The state of Illinois has seen a bigger rise in gas prices than many other states. We’re now seventh in the nation in unleaded gas prices and 16th in diesel.
