Illinois is one of 10 U.S. states seeing average gas prices over $5 a gallon, which is about $2 more than last year's average at this time.
According to AAA, the average price for a gallon of gas in Illinois is $5.45 and $5.86 in Cook County. The national average is $4.91, as of Tuesday. "Before I would fill up my tank it would be about 35 bucks, now it’s about 70 bucks," said Chicago-area driver Nick Sagastegui. According to Phillip Braun, finance professor at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management, the price of gasoline is likely rising across the U.S. due to the Russia-Ukraine war.
