Finding cheap gas in Fergus Falls (56537)
Fergus Falls strings out along I-94 with five separate exits feeding the city, which is a lot of interstate access for a town this size and the single biggest factor in how gas gets priced here. The county seat of Otter Tail County, it sits about halfway between the Twin Cities and Fargo, making it a standard refueling break for travelers in both directions.
That interstate traffic means the stations clustered near the exits price for through-drivers who may not know the local landscape, while the pumps closer to the downtown core and the residential west side tend to serve regulars. The split between those two groups is where the daily price gap usually shows up.
Otter Tail County is famous for having more lakes than any county in the country, so summer brings a wave of cabin and recreation traffic on top of the steady interstate flow. Checking a couple of the in-town stations against the exit-ramp lots before you fill is the reliable move.

How to save more on gas in Fergus Falls
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.
