First off, here’s a really cool interactive graphic by the AP, showing gas prices by state using the data from AAA I report.

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

Gasoline: Rockford dropped another three cents to $2.84 a gallon. We have the third-highest gas prices in the state, dropping below Quad Cities. We’re also 88th in the nation, which is about where we’ve been for a while. The Illinois average dropped three cents to $2.99, breaking the $3 mark. The national average dropped four cents to $2.82. Illinois has the 12th-highest gas prices in the nation, including the District of Columbia.

Diesel: Rockford dropped five cents to $3.50 a gallon. We have the eighth-highest diesel prices in the state. The state average dropped three cents to $3.71. The national average dropped more than two cents to $3.58. Illinois has the ninth-highest diesel prices in the country.
