Midwest Region Gas Price History
The EIA does not publish weekly prices for Kansas, so this chart shows the Midwest regional average for regular gasoline, the same series behind the Kansas price above. The region also covers Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin, so the line describes the region as a whole, not Kansas alone. The latest week is $1.40 a gallon higher than a year earlier.

About Gas Prices in Kansas
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) surveys fuel retailers weekly but doesn't publish a separate price for Kansas, so the price shown is the EIA's Midwest regional average for regular unleaded gasoline. Prices at individual stations in Kansas may be higher or lower depending on location, brand, and local competition.
Several factors influence Kansas's gas price: state fuel taxes, the distance from major refineries, pipeline and distribution infrastructure, and the required seasonal fuel blend. Use the calculator above to see exactly how today's Kansas price affects your commute, road trip, or monthly driving budget.
Kansas Fuel Taxes: ≈25¢/gal
Kansas has a state gas tax below the national average. Kansas's state gas tax is about 25 cents per gallon, below the roughly 33.5-cent national average.
Tax figures are approximate state-level taxes and fees per gallon of regular gasoline and exclude the 18.4¢/gal federal excise tax. Rates change, so verify current rates with the state's revenue or transportation department.
How Kansas Gets Its Gasoline
Kansas punches above its weight in refining for a Great Plains state: CVR Energy's refinery in Coffeyville, HF Sinclair's refinery in El Dorado, and CHS's refinery in McPherson together give Kansas meaningful in-state production. That local refining capacity, tied into the broader Midwest pipeline network, generally keeps Kansas supply reliable and prices near or below the national average.
Where Gas Is Cheapest and Most Expensive in Kansas
Prices tend to be lowest in the southeast, closest to the Coffeyville and El Dorado refineries, and a little higher in far western Kansas, which sits farthest from any in-state refinery and draws more on regional pipeline supply.
