Illinois’s state tax on gasoline doubled from 19 cents to 38 cents per gallon and the diesel fuel tax increased from 24 cents to 44.5 cents per gallon on July 1.
Gov. JB Pritzker signed into law on June 28 a $45 billion infrastructure plan which included the fuel tax hikes, making the burden paid by Illinois drivers among the heaviest in the nation.
The typical Illinois driver will pay at least $100 more for gasoline each year under a doubled gas tax, states an Illinois Policy Institute analysis published on July 26.
