With gas prices like these it’s never been a better time for a road trip, and it’s amazing how many places you can get on just one tank of gas! With an average of 300 miles per tank, you can get across a great portion of Minnesota, so we planned one beautiful trip with 10+ stops. You can find the map here. Have fun!
