We’re coming down, but supply out of Chicago isn’t fully recovered yet and now the bailout talk has traders thinking it will help the economy and drive up demand for gasoline. That’s right, good news would be bad news.

Here are the prices (as always, courtesy of AAA’s fuelgaugereport.com):

Gasoline: Rockford dropped four cents to $3.89 a gallon. We’re tied with East St. Louis with the second-highest gas prices in the state. The Illinois average dropped three cents to $3.94. The national average dropped almost two cents to $3.70. Illinois has the fourth-highest gas prices in the nation.

Diesel: Rockford dropped two cents to $4.05 a gallon. We have the sixth-highest diesel prices in the state. The state average dropped a cent to $4.22. The national average dropped slightly to $4.10. Illinois the ninth-highest prices in the country.
