CHICAGO (CBS) ― Motorists throughout the Chicago area and across the country are seeing significant relief at the pump.
The American Auto Association reports the national average is now $2.95 per gallon. In Illinois, the average is $3.12, and Indiana $2.84. Even in several Chicago suburbs, gas prices under $3 have been spotted.
Experts say gas prices likely will fall further, and figure to hit $2.50 to $2.60 a gallon if oil goes down to $50 a barrel as some analysts suspect it will.
