Pritzker's gasoline tax hikes up another 3.1 cents July 1

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker doubled the state's gasoline tax in 2019 to 38 cents from 19 cents per gallon. He also built in automatic annual increases, but his election-year package of tax relief measures included a 6-month delay in the automatic hike. That means during 2023 motorists get two 3.1-cent hikes, totaling 6.2 cents.
