Shakopee gas prices stay clustered under $4, while diesel sits just below $5

Shakopee regular gas is still under $4 at both listed stations

Shakopee drivers checking prices today can still find regular gasoline under $4 at both listed 7-Eleven/Speedway stations. The 1155 1st Ave E location is posted at $3.799 for regular and $4.849 for diesel. The 1195 Canterbury Rd S station lists regular at $3.829 and diesel at $4.899.

That leaves only a 3-cent spread on regular and a 5-cent spread on diesel between the two pumps. For most commuters, that is not much. For drivers filling larger tanks or paying for fuel out of a business budget, even a few cents can still matter over time.

Regular is close to the Minnesota average

AAA’s Minnesota average is $3.764 for regular and $4.845 for diesel as of June 19. Shakopee’s regular prices sit a few cents above that state mark, while the local diesel prices are essentially in line with Minnesota’s diesel average.

The Minneapolis-St. Paul metro average is $3.769 for regular and $4.913 for diesel, so the Shakopee regular prices are also close to the Twin Cities benchmark. On diesel, both Shakopee stations are a bit below the metro average.

Why the diesel price matters more for work vehicles

Diesel costs matter most for contractors, delivery drivers, service fleets, and pickup trucks that use it. The U.S. Energy Information Administration put the national weekly average at $4.052 for regular gasoline and $5.059 for on-highway diesel for the week of June 15, which keeps Shakopee’s diesel prices below the latest national benchmark.

The bottom line for Shakopee is simple: regular gas is still under $4 at both listed stations, diesel is just under $5, and the gap between nearby pumps is small enough that comparison shopping may only save a few cents a gallon.
