Illinois gas prices have topped five dollars per gallon in some areas of the state. One expert says the prices could get even higher before falling. Illinois fuel prices are at their highest mark ever with gas prices averaging $4.91 per gallon throughout the state. The average price at this time last year was $3.24. Molly Hart of AAA said the fuel prices could continue to be an issue throughout the summer.
Hart also gave some insight into what is driving up the costs.
On top of the state’s high fuel prices, Illinois has the third-highest gas tax in the nation behind only Pennsylvania and California.
