Chicago gas prices could take a dip as Mayor Lori Lightfoot says the city is considering reducing the city's gas tax
"It's pretty bad, especially at $4.99, but we have to get to places we have to buy it," said Zayne McCorkle.
The prices are crazy, especially if you fill up your tank in Chicago, where drivers pay the highest prices in the state. Chicago drivers pay a state 39.2 cents per gallon motor fuel tax, an additional $.08 for a city gas tax and another $.06 for Cook County. "Everybody also pays a 1.1 cents for an environmental and underground storage fee, and top of that, Illinois is one of only seven states that levies a sales tax on top of its motor fuels tax for gasoline," Schuster added."People have to drive to get to work, to get to school to church, groceries -- and we have to figure out a way that we can do our part to provide some relief," Mayor Lori Lightfoot Thursday.
