Impending Gas Price Hike Looms for Kansas and Missouri Drivers
Gas prices in Kansas and Missouri are expected to increase by 50 cents to $1 per gallon due to a potential refinery outage. GasBuddy warns that the surge in prices could happen within the next few days. The outage may cause a disruption in the supply of gasoline, leading to higher wholesale prices and potentially prompting retailers to raise their prices. The EPA might issue a waiver to expedite the switch to winter gasoline, but in the meantime, drivers should prepare for the inevitable price jump.
