Finding cheap gas in Chicago (60619)
Chatham and Avalon Park give this ZIP its identity, longtime anchors of Chicago's Black middle class and home to 75th Street's Restaurant Row, a mile of family-owned soul food, Caribbean, and West African kitchens. It is a neighborhood of well-kept bungalows and steady local commerce on the South Side.
The street grid here is dense with arterials, and that shapes the fuel scene. Stations line 79th Street, Cottage Grove, Stony Island, and 87th, the same corridors that carry the shopping and the bus routes, so finding a pump is easy compared with the lakefront ZIPs farther north.
All of it runs on Chicago's municipal-plus-county fuel taxes. With multiple stations competing along 79th and Cottage Grove, prices stay reasonable for the city, and the high-traffic corners usually beat the smaller stops a block or two off the main drags.

How to save more on gas in Chicago
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.
