Why is gas so expensive in Minnesota?
I’m in Minnesota for school, and luckily I have a small car that doesn’t cost a ton to fill up. But even with a small engine, I still feel like gas prices are insane—why are they so high?

You’re right—gas prices have risen to an unbelievable amount! Gas is so expensive in
Minnesota
because of:- Fuel supply issues
- Summer travel season
- Increasing fuel demands
- High crude oil prices
Compared to many other states, Minnesota’s average gas prices are slightly lower, with the average cost for regular unleaded gas sitting at $4.701 per gallon and diesel at $5.561. Compare that to the whopping $6.308 per gallon in
California
! But given that prices were just $2.938 per gallon a year ago, it’s significantly higher.
There’s no telling when gas prices will come back down, but if you’re looking to save on car expenses, we have an answer for you:
