Low Gas Prices Affecting Businesses in the Northland

Minnesota Average Price Lower than National Average

The average gas price in Minnesota is a staggering $1.49 per gallon, which is lower than the National Average.

In some areas like Maple Grove, gas can even be found for a price as low as $1.24.  US oil production almost doubling over the last couple of years and a strong dollar are among the reasons cited for the cheap gas prices.

A local company, Custom Cab says that the low gas prices make it affordable for them to give even better services to the customers.

And helps them pass on some of the savings back to the community, like giving free rides or discounts.

The national average for gas prices is around a $1.69 per gallon, but this number fluctuates daily.
