Description
RICHFIELD, MN — As Memorial Day approaches, the national gas price average has reached its most expensive in six years at $3.04 per gallon. The average cost of a gallon in Minnesota is over $2.84.
The surge is being blamed on the cyberattack and subsequent shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline.
"This is going to be an expensive summer for motorists. However, we do not expect it to deter travelers from hitting the road," Jeanette McGee, AAA spokesperson, said in a news release.
"AAA finds that despite the higher pump prices, Americans still take their road trips but just may not travel as far as originally planned, or go to their planned destination and spend a little less."
Whether it's before a trip up to the cabin or a trip across town for soccer practice, no one likes to more for gas. As of Thursday, these Richfield gas stations have the lowest price per gallon, according to Gas Buddy.
