gas prices

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 in some parts of the country could spike after oil refineries in Texas were shut down ahead of Tropical Storm Harvey. But, AAA Minnesota spokewoman Gail Weinholzer says we may only see a small price spike here in the Midwest.

Have you ever kicked yourself for filling up your tank only to realize you could have gotten gas cheaper at a different station in town?

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.

I stumbled across this neat tool from our sister station WJON. They've got up-to-date gas prices for the St. Cloud area. It's pretty cool, especially if you're trying to compare prices.

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!

The head of the International Energy Agency expects oil prices to remain low next year as demand weakens and supply remains high.

If you're heading out of town this week for the Thanksgiving holiday, today (Monday) is a good day to fill-up on gas. Most St. Cloud metro area gas stations are selling a gallon of regular unleaded for a $1.99.
