Duluth Superior, MN, September 21, 2026 —
Drivers in Minnesota and Wisconsin are experiencing a substantial increase in gasoline prices, with averages for regular unleaded fuel climbing across both states. The statewide average for regular unleaded gasoline in Minnesota has now reached $4.39 per gallon, while the price for diesel fuel has hit $6.33 per gallon.
Specific areas within Minnesota are seeing even higher figures. In Duluth, stations are reporting an average price of $4.39 per gallon. Meanwhile, the city of Grand Rapids is experiencing some of the highest prices, with averages reaching up to $4.69 per gallon.
Wisconsin drivers are also feeling the pinch, with average prices around $4.46 per gallon.
Industry analysts attribute this widespread price surge to a combination of global and regional factors. International conflicts are reportedly impacting the cost of crude oil, a primary component in gasoline production. Additionally, disruptions at regional refineries are affecting the supply of finished fuel, further contributing to the upward pressure on prices at the pump.
The exact duration of these elevated prices remains subject to the resolution of ongoing international conflicts and the restoration of full operational capacity at affected refineries.
