The price of a gallon of gasoline in Minnesota fell significantly due to the disruption to global oil supplies caused by the Iran war, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA). However, motorists in Minnesota have seen less price increases due to lower import prices from Canada and North Dakota. The state's gas tax, about 28 cents a gallon, is relatively moderate compared to many other states, but Minnesota raised about $880 million in fuel taxes from the sale of 2.5 billion gallons of gasoline and diesel in the state last year and raised additional revenue from taxes on jet fuel.

The price of gasoline per gallon in Minnesota varied from county to county, with the cheapest found in counties where it costs $3.3 per gallon.
