MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Some gas stations around Minnesota are selling gas for the lowest prices seen in decades.
According to GasBuddy.com, the lowest price of gas in the state on Thursday is $0.78 a gallon in Lake City, Minnesota. Red Wing is not too far behind with $0.84 a gallon at one gas station.
For some perspective, the Minnesota Historical Society has pictures from 1979 showing similar gas prices in West St. Paul.
