The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

The reason I chose Madison to compare to Milwaukee is that as the 2nd-largest city in the state, the distribution costs and competition levels would be the closest (not to mention that the operator of the web sites I used to compare gas prices have a handy average for both areas).

Go to Chicago and check the prices. In the suburbs the prices are generally $0.10 – $0.15 less than in the city proper. Even in non-Chicago areas of Cook County the price is less than in the city. Cook county and the city both have higher gas taxes.

That 20-and-over cent trade differential has been there since at least January.

When we’re going to MadiStan, we usually fill up there precisely for this reason.
