Mayoral candidate Willie Wilson is continuing his gas giveaways, filling up the tanks of residents all over Chicago suffering because of the rapid rise in fuel prices courtesy of inflation.

Details about the upcoming giveaway, set for Saturday (July 9), were revealed in June, as Wilson talked about his plans to donate $2 Million in gas and groceries. According to ABC 7 Chicago, this promotion, on Saturday, will be for a full tank of regular gas at select gas stations.
