ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn. (KFGO) – Minnesotans and North Dakotans are paying some of the highest gas prices since October of 2019.
Triple-A Minnesota’s Jesse Simon says the recent cold snap in the south resulted in more than 20 oil refineries shutting down. He says many hope to be back online in the coming days and regular gasoline deliveries will resume.
Simon says gas prices are likely to be volatile for a while, but when crude production is back to normal levels, prices should stabilize. The average price for a gallon of unleaded in Minnesota is $2.64.
In Fargo-Moorhead, prices have jumped by about 30-cents a gallon in recent weeks.
