For those gearing up for Memorial Day weekend, one of the busiest travel weekends of the year, prices at the pump could come down.

Patrick DeHaan, the head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, reports that's because more refineries come online after summer maintenance.

According to DeHaan, prices at the pump in Illinois stand at three dollars 68 cents a gallon.

The average price in the U.S. is about three dollars 44 cents a gallon.

Over the past year, prices at the pump are up seven cents a gallon.
