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.

I know the reason and I am not convinced the cleaner burning really does anything major or not.
As for the taxes, I'm not surprised there either.
Perhaps the issue is we need a tax holiday from gas, not a federal tax holiday
