Gas under $2 a gallon at some suburban pumps

Drivers, fill 'er up.

Gas prices have dropped across the country to the lowest level in five years. And at some suburban gas stations, prices have fallen below $2 a gallon.

Three out of the four gas stations at Route 83 and Foster Avenue in Bensenville - Road Ranger, Shell and Thorntons - offered regular unleaded for $1.99 a gallon Saturday afternoon.

Josh Deleon was test-driving a BMW four-door when his car salesman spotted the bargain and asked him to pull into the Thorntons. Deleon, who lives in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, called it a deal compared to the $3-plus he pays in the city.

Statewide, the average price has dropped to about $2.28, according to Gasbuddy.com.
