HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Gas prices in Kansas are solid as we enter 2025.
"We have lots of stability," said Shawn Steward with AAA Kansas. "We are currently almost 40 cents less than the national average, which is $3.06 right now. That puts Kansas at fourth lowest in the nation."
There don't seem to be any trends right now that look like there would be any kind of big jumps in prices at the pump and the weekend winter weather reduces demand in the short term as folks stay home to stay safe.
"We really haven't seen any kind of geopolitical issues or any kind of interruption to the petroleum supply that would lead to any kind of jump in prices," Steward said. "Right now we're looking at a fairly typical trend. We're getting into the lower demand period for driving as we head into winter, and right now that's kind of what it looks like."
Traditionally, as demand remains low during winter months and winter blend gasoline is less expensive to refine, that puts downward pressure on prices at the pump.
