Gas Price-Gouging

How come Woodstock gas prices are about a dime over Crystal Lake? Woodstock prices have come down a little, but there is no reason whatsoever for them to be higher than Crystal Lake?

Ready to buy gas? Go to www.gasbuddy.com and determine what stations are along your next route. Lowest price in Illinois at this moment is $2.90/gal. in Granite City, Ill. OK, so it's a long drive...

Basically, we are getting ripped off right here at home.

What can you do? Next time you buy gas in Woodstock, ask the clerk for the name of the station's management office and phone number. Call and gripe. Tell your friends to call and gripe. Tell the clerk that you are going to buy gas in Crystal Lake and ask the clerk to inform her manager.

Remember, the clerk doesn't set the price, so don't dump on her. And remember....
