Gas Prices Fall Slightly in Minnesota in the Past Week

UNDATED (WJON News) -- The national average price of gasoline continues to hold near the highest level we've seen since last October.

In addition, the largest refinery in the Midwest moved up its seasonal maintenance to several weeks earlier than expected, causing a jump at the pump in the Great Lakes.
