I have to drive across Illinois often. Luckily, it's only about 130 miles across where I travel (I-64), so I gas up in Indiana or Missouri, and don't stop in Illinois except to take a leak. I leave them NO money, and not even any good will.
I can't stand the place, it's just space between where I am, and where I'm going.
Pizzing on the place is all I care to do with it.
Which in no way makes you a bad person.
