HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Gas prices have stabilized for the moment, according to Shawn Steward with AAA Kansas.
"After weeks of seeing price increases at the gas pumps, in the past week or so, we've started to see some stability," Steward said. "Today's statewide price in Kansas is $2.67 a gallon. That's one cent less than we saw a week ago. The national average has held steady at $2.87 a gallon."
Kansas prices continue to be generally less expensive than most of the rest of the country.
"Kansas this week is 20 cents less than the $2.87 per gallon national average," Steward said. "That puts us at 10th cheapest in the nation. Reno County is at $2.68, which is a cent higher than the statewide average today."
Most of the surrounding counties are a little less expensive, with Harvey County at $2.61, McPherson County at $2.62 and Sedgwick County at $2.59. Rice County is at $2.74.
