Summary
Gas prices in the Twin Cities just spiked 15 cents overnight, pushing the average to $4.43—up 44 cents from last month—and it’s hitting businesses hard, especially truckers and shippers facing 40% cost surges. Diesel hit a record $6.05 a gallon, while maintenance and insurance costs climb amid a three-year trucking slump. Dakota County leads local prices, fueled by volatile crude oil—and experts say relief may not come until after November’s midterms.
