Gas Prices Have Risen in Minnesota, Nationally in Past Week
UNDATED (WJON News) -- Gasoline prices have risen in the past week.
Gas Buddy says average gas prices in Minnesota have gone up 7.7 cents, averaging $2.83 per gallon.
The national average has risen 4.5 cents, averaging $3.07.
They say a cold weather-related refinery shutdown pushed the wholesale price of gasoline upward. Gas Buddy says the larger increases will be witnessed in a few weeks when we enter mid-February and lasting through April or May, during which the national average could rise 35 to 85 cents per gallon.
