Refinery issues, global conflict driving up Midwest fuel prices before election

(The Center Square) – Eight days from the 2026 general election, fuel prices in the Midwestern Great Lakes region are again on the rise following more new issues at one Illinois refinery and continued global conflict. According to AAA fuel data, the price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in Illinois was $4.89, up roughly 22 cents over the past week. According to Molly Hart, a spokesperson for AAA auto club, fuel price increases in the past week are the result of multiple different factors, which range in how widespread their impact is felt. “There is a refinery outage in Joliet, I do not have confirmation that's fully up and running, but when things like that happen you can see the effect at the gas pump,” Hart said. “Geopolitical events always play a role as well into what's happening to the gas prices.” Illinois isn’t the only state impacted by reported issues at the ExxonMobil refinery in Joliet, instead that refining capacity cutback can be felt in other nearby states according to Hart. “[In] Michigan it jumped from $4.49 it went up 33 cents, so all these states are seeing an uptick in gas prices,” Hart said.
