Minnesota Gas Prices Today

Regular gasoline in Minnesota averages $3.84 per gallon as of the EIA week of 2026-08-10 — $0.17 below the national average of $4.01. Minnesota is supplied by two in-state refineries (Pine Bend and St. Paul Park) running largely Canadian crude, which usually keeps prices near or below the national average. Like the rest of the Midwest, though, it depends on a small set of regional refineries — spring maintenance season or an unplanned outage can move prices 20–40¢ within weeks.
