Illinois is set to implement another motor fuel tax increase on July 1. The state's tax on motor fuel has risen annually since 2019. The new levy will raise the rate from 45.4 cents per gallon to 47.0 cents per gallon. In the first half of 2019, the state levy was only 19 cents per gallon, marking an increase of almost 150% over five years. The 2024 Illinois tax on diesel fuel will also rise.
