Diesel Prices Near Record High | St. Louis News

Diesel prices are nearing all-time highs, hitting $5.58 a gallon—just 23 cents shy of the 2022 record—while regular gas also climbs, defying seasonal norms. The surge? Blame Russian refineries, increasingly disrupted by Ukraine’s strikes, tightening global fuel supply. Illinois drivers feel the pinch too: gas up 8 cents to $4.36, a dollar higher than last year. Prices swing wildly by region—Tuscola offers the cheapest fuel, while Champaign-Urbana saw a sudden spike after weeks of decline. Gas is expensive, and it’s only getting worse.
