• Joliet refinery delayed in bringing capacity online as Midwest gas prices surge (bigcountrynewsconnection.com) — Residents in Whiting may notice higher gas and diesel prices as a major Joliet refinery remains offline after flooding, while the BP plant in Whiting has seen only limited maintenance-related slowdowns. Combined with global conflicts affecting oil markets, Midwestern states including Indiana are seeing sharp week-over-week price jumps, and experts say relief will likely lag until refinery capacity is fully restored.
