Hey, a drop’s a drop, right? (Data courtesy of AAA’s fuelgaugereport.com):

Gasoline: Rockford dropped a fifth of a cent, remaining at $3.37 a gallon Wednesday. Most metro areas in the state also dropped, albeit slightly (except for Springfield, which dropped a whole three cents … party at Aaron Chambers’ place!). The state as a whole dropped almost a cent to $3.41. We’re tied for fifth in the state in highest gas prices. The national average remained virtually unchanged today at $3.29 a gallon. Illinois is tied for sixth-highest gas prices in the country.

Diesel: Rockford dropped a whole cent (golly gee wow) to $4.08 a gallon, while the rest of the state jumped around. The state average remained at $4.14 a gallon, and we’re fifth in the state in diesel prices. The nation increased less than a cent to $4.03. Illinois has the 14th-highest prices in the country.
