Nothing insightful to say today. Try me tomorrow.

Remember to check out our Gas Tracker feature, and add prices you see. The more trackers we have, the better information we’ll have.

Here’s the price situation as of this morning (prices courtesy of AAAs fuelgaugereport.com):

Gasoline: Rockford dropped just over a cent to $3.85 a gallon, almost back to where we were the end of last week. We’re up to second in the state in gas prices (something must have happened in the wholesale markets around here). The Illinois average dropped about a cent to $3.93. The national average dropped a cent to $3.74. Illinois increased to the eighth-highest gas prices in the nation.

Diesel: Rockford dropped two cents to $4.23 a gallon, down 59 cents from a month ago. We have the second-lowest diesel prices in the state. The state average dropped two cents to $4.45, down 40 cents in the past month. The national average dropped two cents to $4.39, down 45 cents in the past month. Illinois has the 16th-highest prices in the country (including the District of Columbia).
