Chicago's Number 1

At the pump that is.The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

We're taking our lumps at the pump, according to a fuel station survey that says Chicagoans are paying the highest price in the nation for regular unleaded gas.

As gas prices hit new records across the country, the top average price for unleaded regular hit $2.84 in Chicago, according to the Lundberg Survey, which checked fuel prices at 7,000 stations nationwide. That compared with the lowest average -- ironically, $2.45 a gallon in Hurricane Katrina-whipped New Orleans, said the survey, which studied the two weeks ending Aug. 26.

Few municipalities can say that have a "city" gas tax.But,few towns are like Chicago.
