I just LOVE sticking it to the illinois tax man whenever possible. I had to travel to St Louis this weekend and I figured out how much gas it takes to get me just over the Mo border. Once there, I filled up the tank with $2.29/gal gas as opposed to illinois $2.59/gal gas. After I was done spending money in St Louis as opposed to central illinois where I try NOT to buy local when possible, I topped off 2 miles from the illinois border and drove home. All my sales tax dollars went to Missouri and they even got a little bonus of gas taxes that should go to illinois....plus I saved about $4. Not a real big financial impact on illinois but its a great feeling to steal from illinois government be it $4 or $4000. Now this weeks gas will be 100% used on illinois roads and it'll benefit Mo. 100%!
