About Gas Prices in Minnesota
Gas prices in Minnesota are reported daily by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) as part of their weekly survey of fuel retailers. The price shown is a statewide average for regular unleaded gasoline. Prices at individual stations in Minnesota may be higher or lower depending on location, brand, and local competition.
Several factors influence Minnesota's gas price: state fuel taxes, the distance from major refineries, pipeline and distribution infrastructure, and the required seasonal fuel blend. Use the calculator above to see exactly how today's Minnesota price affects your commute, road trip, or monthly driving budget.
Minnesota Fuel Taxes: ≈32¢/gal
Minnesota has a moderate, inflation-indexed state gas tax. Minnesota charges roughly 32 cents per gallon, with the rate indexed to highway construction inflation since 2024. The tax sits near the national median and is no longer frozen, so expect small annual adjustments.
Tax figures are approximate state-level taxes and fees per gallon of regular gasoline and exclude the 18.4¢/gal federal excise tax. Rates change — verify current rates with the state's revenue or transportation department.
How Minnesota Gets Its Gasoline
Minnesota is better supplied than most northern states: the Flint Hills Pine Bend refinery in Rosemount is one of the largest refineries in the interior U.S., and Marathon operates a second refinery in St. Paul Park. Both process discounted Canadian crude, which regularly helps Minnesota post pump prices below the national average.
Where Gas Is Cheapest and Most Expensive in Minnesota
The Twin Cities metro, sitting next to both refineries, usually has the state's cheapest gas. Duluth and the Iron Range run several cents higher, and remote northern lake country pays the largest trucking premium — though rarely more than 15–20 cents over Minneapolis.
