Illinois drivers are paying nearly 90 cents more per gallon than drivers across the border in Indiana.
Illinois: $4.91/gal
Indiana: $4.03/gal
And despite the growing cost at the pump, Illinois Democrats say they haven’t heard anyone complain about the gas tax.
The next gas tax increase is coming in just 90 days.
Illinois has two more gas tax increases scheduled — one on January 1 and another on July 1.
Illinois also charges a sales tax on the gasoline tax, meaning you’re essentially paying a tax on a tax.
As gas prices rise, the amount collected through these taxes rises too. And 80% of that tax revenue reportedly goes directly to Chicago to help its budget.
Illinois Democrats say they haven’t heard people complaining about the gas tax. But if these policies continue, drivers could be paying even more at the pump.
