Traveling For the 4th? Find Cheap Gas in Evanston

Find an inexpensive place to fill up the tank before you head out of town for the Fourth of July or run errands around Evanston. We included some gas stations just over the border in Skokie, too, since they're cheaper.

If you're one of the 2.4 million people in Illinois planning to travel for the Fourth of July, as predicted by AAA, you're probably thinking about the price of filling up your tank.

To help you save money, we've rounded up a list of the lowest gas prices we could find in Evanston and right over the border in Skokie, based on data from Mapquest's gas finder and the website GasBuddy. All prices displayed are for regular gasoline, and we rounded up after two decimals.

Cool! I buy gas only at Sam's Club.
lucas June 29, 2012 at 06:22 pm
Several of those statons are in Skokie.
Jennifer Fisher (Editor) June 29, 2012 at 11:35 pm
Yes, we included those because they're cheaper!
Sara J. McMurray June 30, 2012 at 11:59 am
You have to have a Sam's Club membership to buy gas there.

In Crook County for just a few days. (Just moved away from Crook to "redneck" Florida a short time ago.) The price of gasoline in northwest Florida was $3.03/gallon and one station in southern Alabama was selling the stuff for $2.99/gallon (on June 26th).
Why is gasoline 70 cents higher in Evanston than it is northwest Florida. Since I've lived in Florida, I have been unable to find a single pot-hole in the roads. The roads are in perfect shape. It's my opinion that the extra 70 cents per gallon that you pay in the County of Crook goes right into the po.iticians pockets. Why do you folks who still live here tolerate this nonsense? Everything in northwest Florida is a lot cheaper that in the County of Crook, except the license plate fee and car insurance. 0 percent state income tax in Florida and the sales tax is 7.5 percent. May I suggest that County of Crook residents throw off your chains and start electing Republicans or that you just leave. But please don't come to Florida-Florida already has its quota of Democrats (and Democrats are obnoxious and would ruin Florida).

Why bother making comments on an Evanston site if you're not in Evanston. This guy must have a lot of time on his hands.
Carol G June 30, 2012 at 05:11 pm
True, but so worth it, for the gas prices alone.
Richard Schulte July 1, 2012 at 01:10 am
Why not? I lived in Evanston for 29-1/2 years and just left for Florida 2 months ago. 29-1/2 years is a long time Leslie.
Oh, by the way, why do you tolerate paying an extra 70 cents per gallon and have such miserable roads?

The writer of the post is illiterate....that is clear. The Evanston Police, in general, do a greatRead More job in this community. There ought be a new category created specifically for membership in a gang that has demonstrated committed acts of violence...it goes back to the first smart thing which Mark Kirk ever said which was locking up each and every one of the 18.5K members of the Gangster Disciples. The second thing that can be done is that each and every law abiding Evanston resident that is legally able to do so should avail themselves of the right to obtain a new Illinois Concealed Carry Permit for a handgun. An armed society is a polite society.
