Average gasoline prices in Minnesota have risen 16.6 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.39 a gallon.  The national average price of gasoline has risen 18.5 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.44.

The national average price of diesel has increased 30.7 cents per gallon compared to a week ago and stands at $6.40 per gallon.
