Joliet Fuel Prices Hold at $4.199 for Gas, $5.499 for Diesel
A Joliet Speedway/7-Eleven lists regular gas at $4.199 and diesel at $5.499, unchanged from the last check as Chicago Metro averages edged higher.
Fuel prices at the Speedway/7-Eleven at 1621 West Jefferson St. in Joliet remained unchanged in the latest listing, with regular gasoline at $4.199 per gallon and diesel at $5.499.
The station page says its fuel prices were updated within 24 hours. Both prices match the previous check at the same location. The listing is a station-specific snapshot, not a citywide Joliet average, and pump prices can change.
Regular gas remains at $4.199
Regular gasoline was listed at $4.199 per gallon on Friday, July 31, at the West Jefferson Street station. A driver filling a 15-gallon tank at that price would spend about $62.99 before loyalty discounts or other savings.
For commuters and households planning weekend travel, the unchanged listing provides a stable price at that location. Drivers should still compare nearby stations because prices can vary by retailer, intersection and fuel brand.
Diesel remains at $5.499
Diesel was listed at $5.499 per gallon at the same station, also unchanged from the previous check. That is $1.30 more per gallon than the station’s listed regular-gas price.
The diesel price matters for contractors, delivery operators, landscapers, service companies and other businesses using diesel-powered trucks or equipment. Even without a day-to-day increase, fuel at that level can add to the cost of work trips, deliveries, service calls and commercial travel.
Chicago Metro averages moved slightly higher
AAA reported a July 31 Chicago Metro average of $4.466 for regular gasoline and $5.402 for diesel. The regional averages rose from $4.454 for regular gas and $5.388 for diesel the previous day.
Those Chicago Metro figures provide regional context for Joliet, but they are not a direct measurement of the city’s pump prices. AAA’s July 31 Illinois averages were $4.361 for regular gasoline and $5.283 for diesel.
For Joliet drivers, the latest picture is mixed: the checked station held steady while broader Chicago-area averages moved modestly higher. Comparing multiple nearby stations remains the best way to find a lower price, especially for households with several vehicles and businesses tracking fuel expenses.
