Minnesotans pay more than national average for gas
As of Monday, the average price for regular gas was $3.58 in Minnesota. Nationally, the average was $3.41, KARE 11 reports.
Gail Weinholzer, a spokesperson for AAA, told KARE 11 that maintenance problems at oil refineries in Chicago are to blame.

The price of oil worldwide declined Monday as Spain’s banking crisis added to concerns about the troubled European economy, the Associated Press reported. A tropical storm also moved away from the heart of America’s oil production in the Gulf of Mexico, reducing the chances for a sustained disruption in U.S. supplies.
