Why are gas prices higher in Wisconsin this week?
Kwik Trip is beloved Wisconsin gas station without store in Milwaukee.
Kwik Trip is more than just a gas station. It’s a grocery store. It’s clean public bathrooms. It’s friendly staff. But it’s also not in Milwaukee.
You might have noticed gas prices inched up when you visited the fuel tanks this week.
You’re not imagining it: gas costs are up across Wisconsin, with prices rising more than 17 cents on average in the last week, according to AAA.
Here’s why gas prices are surging and which Wisconsin cities are feeling it the most.
Why are gas prices higher in Wisconsin this week?
A storm-related outage at an ExxonMobil facility in Illinois may be to blame for rising gas prices across the Upper Midwest this week, AAA said in a news release Thursday.
The refinery in Joliet, Illinois lost power earlier this month after a tornado touched down in the Chicago area on July 16. The facility, which processes 248,000 barrels per day, was about 50 miles from the tornado and battered by heavy wind and rain.
As of July 17, Reuters reported the refinery would be down for at least a week with plans to power back up in “late July.”
However, while the outage drives up prices across the Midwest, falling oil prices in the U.S. may help steady costs, AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said in the news release.
“In April, a barrel of oil was in the upper $80s, but today, it is $10 a barrel cheaper. That might mitigate any upward pressure on pump prices,” Gross said.
Which Wisconsin cities have highest gas prices?
Counties in eastern Wisconsin are generally seeing the highest gas prices, while counties in the western half of the state are seeing prices 10 to 30 cents below Friday’s national average of $3.52 per gallon, according to AAA’s daily average gas prices tracker.
Most Wisconsin cities have seen gas prices tick up in the last week. Listed below are the average gas prices for a regular gallon of gas in major Wisconsin cities on Friday, compared to a week ago, according to AAA. All prices are rounded to the nearest hundredth of a cent.
Average gas prices in Wisconsin cities on July 26:
- Milwaukee-Waukesha: $3.80, up from $3.45 last week
- Madison: $3.45, up from $3. 43 last week
- Appleton: $3.44, up from $3.30 last week
- Eau Claire: $3.24, up from $3.20 last week
- Fond Du Lac: $3.37, same as $3.37 last week
- Green Bay: $3.50, up from $3.36 last week

Wisconsin enters the tournament as one of the more complete teams in the field, combining strong defensive structure with high-end offensive talent. The Badgers have leaned on forward Cruz Lucius, a dynamic scorer capable of creating chances in transition, along with Kirsten Simms, who has been a consistent offensive presence throughout the season. On the blue line, Wisconsin’s physicality and ability to limit quality scoring chances have made it a difficult matchup.
Dartmouth arrives as a disciplined and well-coached group that thrives on structure and goaltending. The Big Green will look to slow the game down and rely on key contributors like John Fusco and Cade Webber to control play in their own zone while generating offense through efficient puck movement.
This matchup will likely come down to pace and execution. Wisconsin prefers to push tempo and create scoring opportunities off the rush, while Dartmouth will aim to keep things tight, limit mistakes, and capitalize on special teams opportunities.
Fans can watch the NCAA hockey tournament across the ESPN family of networks, with games airing on ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU, while select matchups stream exclusively on ESPN+.

Wisconsin native and American Idol contestant waiting to see if she advances
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) – Wisconsin native and American Idol contestant Genevieve Heyward is anxiously waiting to see if she makes it to the top 14.
Two Mondays ago, she sang “Pink Pony Club” by Chappell Roan, and the judges had nothing but good things to say.
We spoke with Genevieve about exceeding her own expectations as she waits for the results.
“I just think going into any of these, specifically American Idol, you kind of have to just go in, and you got to be grounded through it. But that’s the other thing I’ve learned. You just got to stay grounded and don’t have any expectations for what you think is going to happen. You almost have to ride the wave,” said Heyward.
Viewers will find out if she advances to the next round on Monday, March 30th, right here on WBAY-TV 2.
