Finding cheap gas in Plainfield (60544)
Plainfield is Will County's oldest community, and a slice of road history still runs through its center: Route 59 downtown traces the stretch where the old Route 66 and the Lincoln Highway (US 30) once shared pavement. Today that same Route 59 corridor, where it meets US 30, is the main commercial drag and the densest concentration of gas stations.
Will County levies its own motor fuel tax on top of the Illinois state rate, but Plainfield's prices generally compare favorably to the Cook County suburbs to the northeast. The town has grown fast, and newer stations along Route 59 and near the US 30 junction keep the competition fresh.
Drivers heading toward I-55, which runs just east of the village, often fuel up in town first rather than at the interchange. With several stations clustered around the Route 59 and US 30 area, a quick comparison usually lands you the better price.

How to save more on gas in Plainfield
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.
