HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A drop in demand hasn't moved gas prices much in Kansas.
"Gasoline demand has dropped significantly since the beginning of the month on a national level," said Shawn Steward with AAA Kansas. "It's fallen from 8.8 million barrels per day to 8.2 million barrels per day, according to the latest Energy Information Association report."
Prices are still below $2 a gallon.
"In Kansas, we're at $1.92," Steward said. "That is one cent less than we were a week ago and four cents down from what we saw a month ago."
Prices are around the state average locally.
"Reno County is a little bit less than the state average with $1.90," Steward said. "Hutchinson is right at the state average of $1.92."
Kansas has the 10th least expensive gasoline in the United States as of Thursday.
