Refinery Failure Sends Gas Prices Soaring | Calgary News

Gas prices in Alberta are surging again—up to 30 cents per litre—with Edmonton at $1.81 and Calgary at $1.84. This spike isn’t due to global conflicts, but a major Exxon Mobil refinery shutdown in Joliet, Illinois, still offline as of Tuesday. While this disruption may be temporary, diesel prices are already double last year’s, affecting trucking, construction, trains, and air travel—and could push up the cost of everyday goods. Experts warn another price jump is likely soon, reminding drivers that fuel markets are tightly linked across borders. Stay informed: volatility is here to stay.
