SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WTVO) — Illinois drivers: brace yourselves. The annual gas tax increase is about to kick in on July 1st, 2025.
The automatic Motor Fuel Tax increases to account for inflation.
Currently, Illinois residents pay the second-highest gas tax in the country, behind California.
The gas tax is now 45 cents per gallon, but on July 1st it will go up to 48.3 cents per gallon.
The average car holds between 12 and 16 gallons of gas, meaning drivers should expect to spend between .24 and .32 cents extra at the pump. The Motor Fuel Tax will account for a range of $5.76 and $7.68 in taxes per full tank of gas, on average.

” The proposal, filed by Sen. Ram Villivalam (D-Chicago) and Sen. Christopher Belt (D-East St. Louis), calls for starting a pilot program to study the effectiveness of charging drivers by the mile, something the state is considering due to the prevalence of more fuel-efficient and electric vehicles on Illinois roadways.
Since fuel-efficient cars use less gasoline, fewer tax dollars will be available for road infrastructure.”
the elections are all stolen in chicago. the rest of the state - solid red - suffers from their election fraud.
[Illinois’ gas tax goes up on July 1st.]
KEEP VOTING DEMOCRAT!!!
IT’S WORKING!!!
Democrat voters never wake up. They’ll vote Democrat in the line to the gas chambers.
3.3 cents per gallon x 12 gallons = 0.24 cents
Really bad math.
3.3 cents per gallon x 12 gallons = 39.6 cents
I’m sure fraud goes on there, but I do t know if it’s even necessary in Chicago. The electorate there seems to have “Democrat” branded on their tiny little brains.
And after their stay in the chamber
The Ill and Noisy people in this area mostly come across the river and buy their gasoline in Iowa.
Win for them.
Win for Iowa (more revenue)
Lose for Ill. Of course most of their citizens are captive and don’t have that option.
Fiddle - here in WA it’s going up 6 cents per gallon, we have the highest gas tax in the nation.
Illinois is a SHIT State run by SHIT Liberals...
Just like New York and Commiefornia.
Unfortunately the cancer has spread to the collar counties bordering Cook County.
NEW MATH ??? :)
“...mostly come across the river and buy their gasoline in Iowa.”
Prickster is doing this because Trump is winning.
WTH? Annual increase? Why? As if that's in some way normal? Oh, to hell with Illinois.
Sell Chicago to Canada?
Long as you brought up the math, I note that .32 cents is decidedly different from 32 cents. By a factor of 100.
