Gas falls to $1.79!!!

As i left Deerfield, gas had dropped slightly to $1.95

i was shocked as I got off of I-94 & 76th to see that our favorite BP had also dropped its price -- to $1.79 !!!!

Maybe they've been reading the blog, and have the comptetitive spirit. Clearly others have noticed -- there were several cars in line when I pulled up.

Come and get it -- I can't imagine it will stay that low through the Thanksgiving Day weekend!
