Gas prices are up a bit across Illinois as Christmas nears. Triple-A's Daily Fuel Gauge Report shows the average price of a gallon of regular gas in Illinois is a buck-99 this morning.
That's about two-cents more than this time last week. The national average is dropping, however, to two-oh-one this morning.
In Rochelle today, the high price for a gallon of unleaded gas is $1.95.
