How to save more on gas in Evanston
1. Use warehouse clubs
Costco and Sam’s Club typically price 15-25 cents per gallon below nearby stations. Membership pays for itself within a few fill-ups.
2. Fill up early in the week
Stations often raise prices Thursday for weekend demand. Fill up Monday through Wednesday to avoid the lift.
3. Keep tires properly inflated
Properly inflated tires improve fuel economy by up to 3 percent at current prices. Check pressure once a month.
4. Check back tomorrow
Prices can shift 10-20 cents overnight during volatile markets. A quick check before you leave home avoids paying yesterday’s spike.
5. Pay cash at split-pricing stations
Stations with cash and credit split pricing typically save an average of 10 cents per gallon when you pay cash.

About gas prices in Illinois
Illinois has one of the more complex gas pricing maps in the country: the state tax is around 47 cents, but Cook County and the city of Chicago add their own per-gallon excise on top, pushing pump prices in downtown Chicago to among the highest in the Midwest. Stations in DuPage and Will counties just outside Cook routinely run 30 to 50 cents cheaper for the same brand. Costco, Sam's Club, Thorntons, and Casey's General Store are the dependable value picks across Chicago and its suburbs, with Costco in Schaumburg and Naperville especially popular.
