Patel ---lowered the price at the Speedway on the way home from work last nite as I was sitting at the light on the way to work they raised it 30 CENTS with a flip of the switch--- no delivery truck in site--- stopped and bought a decaf asked what's up with the prices said they got "the call" to raise prices or "no more deliveries for a while gas shortage supplies are tight" ---BS----- my son's next door neighbor drives a gas tanker truck says he has been working 50-60 hours a week the past 3-4 months says they are forcing the stations to order more fuel even if they got a delivery 24 hours ago plenty of fuel if you want it this is the price otherwise they go to the next station ask them if they want to buy any gas--kinda hard to run a gas station if ya have no gas to sell----This happens every year about this time in the Chicago area--- they always have some BS excuse -----ALSO the taxes on gas/diesel in the Chicago are especially Cook County are among the highest if not the highest in the entire country----WARNING fill up before ya get here and maybe buy a 5-10 gal extra to get out of the area back to lower prices
