We got back to the Chicagoland area last night after an eight day cruise along Route 66 through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, and a part of Oklahoma (as far as Afton).
Gas was between $2.54 and $2.70 (as in $2.69.9) a gallon on the Chicagoland area with Elburn as usual being the highest (we take Il. Highway 47 to Dwight). Gas in Pontiac was $2.46. In Missouri, around Pacific and Eureka (outside of St. Louis) it was $2.22!!!
It got as high as $2.40 in Lebanon, Missouri, and was $2.23 in Joplin.
Yesterday, it was $2.33 in Springfield, Illinois, but had climbed back to $2.56 to $2.70 as we continued northward.
We sure get ripped off on our gas here in the Chicagoland area.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
