The gas gauge on your dashboard shows your tank is approaching empty. Do you find yourself wondering if there is enough left to get you to your favorite station?

Many northern Dakota County residents have a favorite station. Sometimes, it's the one that always seems to have short lines. Or gas there always is a cent or two cheaper. Or they stock the best munchies.

The following gas stations were nominated earlier this summer as the best of the best by your communities. Now you decide who will receive Patch's Readers' Choice award.

Voting runs July 23-Aug. 17. You may vote once per poll.
