Gas Averaging $3.05 a Gallon in MN, Expected to Continue Decline

(Learfield News) Gas prices are averaging about 3 dollars a gallon in the state and are expected to continue falling.

Brynna Knapp with Triple-A Minnesota says gas is normally cheaper when the temperatures get cooler.

Drivers in Minnesota are paying a statewide average of $3.05 a gallon to fill their gas tanks this week and Knapp says, “that does vary from county to county throughout Minnesota. For example, in Rochester average price per gallon is at 3.16, in the cities we’re looking at 3.08 for an average, down in Houston County we’re looking at a lower average at 2.92.”

She says several stations in northwest Minnesota are selling gas for less than 3 dollars a gallon.

Knapp says prices are expected to decline further heading into winter.
