Illinois gasoline prices climb 7.6 cents in past week Published 10:11 am Tuesday, August 25, 2026 QUINCY — Average gasoline prices in Illinois rose 7.6 cents per gallon over the past week, reaching $4.36 per gallon, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 4,378 stations across the state. Prices in Illinois are up 10.7 cents from a month ago and stand 97.5 cents higher than a year ago. The cheapest station in Illinois was priced at $3.75 per gallon Sunday, while the most expensive station was priced at $5.69, a difference of $1.94 per gallon, GasBuddy reported. Nationally, average gasoline prices rose 2.9 cents per gallon over the past week to $4.05, down 5.0 cents from a month ago but 92.6 cents higher than a year ago, according to GasBuddy, which compiles its data from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations nationwide. The national average price of diesel rose 16.6 cents over the past week to $5.584 per gallon. Gasoline prices in Illinois have climbed steadily over the past five years, according to GasBuddy’s historical data for Aug. 24: $3.22 per gallon in 2021, $4.21 in 2022, $4.09 in 2023, $3.66 in 2024, and $3.38 in 2025, compared with this year’s $4.36. Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said prices rose in most states over the past week, with fewer than 10 states seeing declines, while diesel prices surged nationally to within roughly 25 cents of an all-time high. De Haan said gasoline prices, while below record levels, are the highest ever recorded this late in the calendar year, raising the possibility that the national average could surpass $4 per gallon by Labor Day for the first time, eclipsing the previous late-season record of $3.83 set in 2012. De Haan attributed the pressure on prices largely to a shrinking supply of refined fuel tied to disruptions in Russian refinery capacity, as continued attacks in the region have taken more facilities offline, even as some oil shipments continue moving through the Strait of Hormuz. He said both gasoline and diesel prices are likely to remain under upward pressure until the global refining picture improves. GasBuddy, a PDI Technologies company, tracks real-time fuel prices at more than 150,000 stations across North America, updating its averages throughout the day using data from station reports, direct integrations, and transactions.
