Counted from OpenStreetMap on 27 August 2026 inside a box 15 km either side of the city centre — not the administrative city, which on a large one reaches well past that. These are counts of what drivers have mapped, not a survey of the city: a station that sells diesel but carries no diesel tag is not in the diesel number. If something is missing, open the map and it can be fixed.

Chicago drivers find Shell, BP, Mobil, Marathon and Citgo stations throughout the metro, with prices varying notably between the city (higher, with local taxes) and the surrounding suburbs. The interstates; I-90, I-94 and I-290. Carry the larger travel-plaza stations. EV charging is expanding across the suburbs and along the tollways.

Local tips

  • City fuel taxes make suburban stations noticeably cheaper.
  • Travel plazas on I-90/I-94 suit long fill-ups and diesel.
  • Tollway oasis stops increasingly include DC fast charging.

Check before you drive, not after

The map is free to read, and confirming that a station has fuel takes one tap with no account. A price, a comment, opening hours or a review needs a free Google sign-in — that is what puts your name on it, and it also brings a streak, saved stations and the driver message board.

Why Refuelia

The only honest map of fuel & EV — worldwide

Where there’s really fuel and a really working charger, right now. Prices come from drivers — someone types in what they actually paid, so it is real, timestamped, and missing until somebody posts it. We never invent a number. Fuel and EV together, worldwide, free.

What a pin can say

Fuel available
a driver confirmed it, and the card says when
Limited fuel
some grades out, or a queue at the pump
No fuel
somebody stood there and told us
Open by its timetable
the posted hours say open. Nobody has checked
No fresh report
and the map says so, rather than guessing

Every other map draws the first one and stops. The last two are the point: when nobody has checked, this map says nobody has checked, instead of guessing green.
