Price is not the only issue at stake here. Ustwo, the product you're referring to is a cleaner-burning fuel that is used in the summer months to reduce the amount of pollution carried downwind. That pollution is a major contributor to acid rain that affected forests and farmland.
And Illinois has some of the highest gas taxes in the US. If I remember correctly, it's about $0.40 higher than GA, which is on the low end of the spectrum.
But the weak dollar and high price of crude is also affecting the gas price.
