April 3, 2017– While National gas prices have increased the last 6 of 7 days. Kansas gas prices have held steady. Prices may increase in the near term as refineries are currently switching from winter to summer blends of gasoline. Drivers in other parts of the Midwest are already seeing significant increases at the pump, anywhere from 5 to 18 cents depending on the state.
