Gas Prices Lower, Diesel Prices Rise
UNDATED (WJON News) -- After a sharp rise in gas prices over the last few weeks, there was a decline last week.
Gas Buddy says average gasoline prices in Minnesota have fallen 5.2 cents, averaging $3.74.
The national average has declined 5.4 cents, averaging $3.86.
The national decline is due to refinery issues being solved on the west coast. In addition, oil prices have cooled off slightly after OPEC's decision to cut production.
