Finding cheap gas in Saint Paul (55126)
Lakes scattered across Shoreview, with part of neighboring Arden Hills folded in, give this leafy north-metro pocket a quiet, residential character, with retail squeezed onto a few key roads. Lexington Avenue is the main north-south commercial spine, and although the mail says St. Paul, these are independent Ramsey County suburbs north of the city.
I-694 runs across the southern edge and Highway 96 cuts east-west, so the busiest fuel stations cluster near those routes and along Lexington where through-traffic and local shoppers overlap. The quiet lake neighborhoods send their traffic back to those corridors when it is time to fill, which concentrates the real competition into a handful of well-traveled intersections.
Because the demand here is largely suburban commuter traffic, prices generally track the broader Twin Cities market without much of a premium or discount. The stations near the I-694 access and along Lexington Avenue see the heaviest flow and set the local pace.

How to save more on gas in Saint Paul
1. Use warehouse clubs
Costco and Sam’s Club typically price 15-25 cents per gallon below nearby stations. Membership pays for itself within a few fill-ups.
2. Fill up early in the week
Stations often raise prices Thursday for weekend demand. Fill up Monday through Wednesday to avoid the lift.
3. Keep tires properly inflated
Properly inflated tires improve fuel economy by up to 3 percent at current prices. Check pressure once a month.
4. Check back tomorrow
Prices can shift 10-20 cents overnight during volatile markets. A quick check before you leave home avoids paying yesterday’s spike.
5. Pay cash at split-pricing stations
Stations with cash and credit split pricing typically save an average of 10 cents per gallon when you pay cash.

About gas prices in Minnesota
Minnesota refines roughly half its consumed gasoline locally at the Flint Hills Resources Pine Bend refinery (a 370,000 barrel-per-day facility near Rosemount) and the Marathon St. Paul Park refinery. The state gas tax is around 29 cents per gallon. Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Duluth, and Rochester all see competitive pricing, with Costco, Sam's Club, Holiday Stationstores (a Minnesota chain owned by Couche-Tard), and Kwik Trip competing on value across these metros. Duluth and Rochester run slightly higher than the Twin Cities due to longer trucking distances. The state requires E10 ethanol blends year-round, and the Twin Cities also require summer reformulated gasoline that adds production cost from June through September.
