Gas - $4.05 in Schaumburg

At 3:00PM gas was $3.859/gallon at the Marathon station at Route 47 and Lake Ave. Whew! And just up the road at the Clark station? $3.759

So, does it pay to shop around? If you were filling a Hummer, I'd say it does.

Gas hit $4.05 in Schaumburg at Higgins and Plum Grove today. Bummer! Time for car pools, fewer trips, eliminating unnecessary trips to the store, shorter vacation travel.

Think there is anyone except that guy in the White House who thinks we are not in a recession? Just what does he think happens when increasing gas prices eat up discretionary income? Other spending slows or stops! Duh...
