Why is gas so expensive in Kansas?

I’ve lived in Kansas my whole life, and I’ve been commuting to work for years, but I’ve never had to pay this much money just to get to my job. Why is gas so expensive in Kansas right now?

This isn’t going to make you feel any better, but gas prices in
Kansas
 are actually some of the lowest in the country at the moment. The state’s petroleum infrastructure and low taxes have protected it from the worst of the current fuel crisis, but here’s why gas is so expensive in Kansas anyway:
  • Decreased gas and oil imports
  • Fossil fuel supply
  • Increased demand
Due to the ban on Russian oil and gas imports on top of supply-chain disruptions caused by COVID-19, U.S. citizens have seen gas prices increase over the last several months.
While we may not be able to help make gas cheaper for your commute, shopping for
car insurance
 on the
Jerry
 app can help you save money on insurance to offset gas costs.
Jerry compares quotes from over 50 insurance companies to find you the lowest rate on the coverage you want. And the best part? Jerry saves users an average of over $800 a year on car insurance!
