Well, I'm in champaign IL and the prices are extremely low.. Premium at
like a speedway is 98 cents for 92 or maybe 93 octane. and 87 octane is
like 85 cents.. At a big station like amoco or mobil premium is only like
a 1.05 or so.. In chicago its probably like 5 cents more for each grade
than here, and in the actual city probably like 10 cents more. but it's great.
