Fargo Locks In Fuel Prices Ahead

While gas prices soar across the country, Fargo’s city government is staying calm — locked in at just $2.26 for regular and $2.55 for diesel, thanks to smart, long-term fuel bidding. Every January, they bid for the next year’s third and fourth quarters, then lock in the first two quarters in July — meaning they’re shielded from wild price swings. With over 941,000 gallons used annually — mostly by their Matbus system — Fargo budgets $3 million yearly. Other cities like Moorhead and counties like Clay and Cass are following suit, either buying wholesale or setting fixed per-gallon budgets, all while hoping for better prices next time — and Fargo’s even pushing their bidding back a month to try.
