Gas Prices

Get ready for more pain at the pump, as gas prices have increased noticeably in Minnesota recently-- and are set to keep rising in 2021.

St. Cloud State Economist King Banaian joined me on WJON today. King says the gas prices dropping below $2.00 a gallon is an indication that the summer travel season is over and that less people will be doing driving vacations anytime soon. He says many Minnesotans chose to do their "holidays" within driving distance largely within the state.

Gas prices could be declining soon. That according to St. Cloud State Economist and Dean, School of Public Affairs, King Banaian. Banaian joined me on WJON today. He expects gas prices to drop this fall.

Gas is expensive...and it's getting expensiver! Save some money so you don't have to sell a kid!

With yet another winter storm on the way this weekend, it's hard to think of summer travel. However, we promise it will be here soon, and the gasoline bill shouldn't be too bad.

Gas prices are remaining below projected levels this summer despite OPEC cutting oil production recently.

The upcoming gas price hike may become a long term situation.

If you've filled up on gas recently, you may have noticed the prices in most areas are under $2 dollars, and the prices continue to drop.

Did you notice the price of gas is climbing, not dropping? Just a couple weeks ago it was $1.40/gallon, and now it's $1.95 per gallon! How high is it supposed to get?

The nation's average for a gallon of gas is about $1.69, but the prices in Minnesota are even better! Minnesotan's are paying on average about $1.45. While the week before we were paying $1.58. Source: WCCO CBS Minnesota

The gas-tracking website gasbuddy.com says some Midwestern states could see gas prices drop below a dollar a gallon later this year. GasBuddy reports that nine states in the nation are currently witnessing the lowest average gasoline prices since early 2004.

Remember a couple months ago we were excited about $1.99 gas prices? Well, in some areas of central Minnesota it's nearing $1.50 with no end in sight!
