Beware of Google... an example of lies and wrong info:

google:

Oil Refineries in Illinois

Just those words...look down. 4 items..
You will see a listing of 3 companies. try it...
__________________________________________________________________________________
Flint Hill Resources.
23425 S Youngs Rd
Channahon, IL
(815) 467-6005

___________________________
these two are fakes.......

6037 Lenzi Ave
Hodgkins, IL
(708) 354-4040
Beaver Oil Co Inc



8195 Pyott Rd
Lake In the Hls, IL
(815) 459-9010
Sierra Petroleum Co Inc

They don't refine nothing...
Beaver Oil....is a recycle company that actually cleans oil
Sierra Petroleum.....distributes gasoline..
......that is all ...it does not refine anything

Yet google says there they are refineries in Illinois and two of the three refine nothing.
.How this happened?...I don't know..all I know is that a lot of people who look for Oil Refineries in Illinois will get the wrong information.

The new generation of students will not really know because it took me an hour and a half to actually find the truth.
But this is what we are up against...just to let anyone who reads this know that few students will look past what appears to be true..and really isn't...

________________________________________________also...it has a map of those three companies..one of these is in Hodgkins
the other is in ...Lake in the Hills.........No...there are no oil refineries in either of those places...even though they are marked with large letters B and C. Look for yourself at that map.

This is the correct list of those near Chicago:

Lemont Refinery (Citgo), Lemont 160,000 bbl/d (25,000 m3/d)
Joliet Refinery (ExxonMobil), Joliet 238,000 bbl/d (37,800 m3/d)
Robinson Refinery (Marathon Petroleum Company), Robinson 206,000 bbl/d (32,800 m3/d)
