The Dearborn-based auto club says early Monday the average price for self-serve regular unleaded gasoline was about $2.51 per gallon.
Some good news for commuters on Monday: Gas prices have slipped to a five-week low.
"Kansas motorists are now enjoying our typical downward gas price trend as we approach the end-of-year holiday driving season", said Jennifer Haugh, AAA Kansas spokeswoman.
Experts are seeing lower gasoline demand and increased fuel supply. It's 32 cents higher than the price in MA was a year ago at this time- $2.17 per gallon.
Trivia for gas-ophiles: The highest average price in Florida for gasoline this year was $2.73, clocked on September 9.
More news: Why the Geminids Are the Best Meteor Shower of 2017The average price is three cents above the national average of $2.46. While a small number of states, who historically experience ongoing volatility, are seeing increases: IN (+11 cents), MI (+8 cents), OH (+4 cents), Hawaii (+1 cent) and IL (+1 cent).
But the recent drop in gas prices may be short lived, DeHaan said. "AAA expects gasoline demand to weaken throughout the winter, which translates to better prices at the pump".
However, on the week, gas prices in these states are down at least two cents, while Californias price increased by a penny.
But while prices fell in a solid majority of states, several Great Lakes states saw prices climb, due to a regional phenomenon called price cycling, which sees large drops in price only to be followed by restoration in price and then again falling prices, completing the cycle. In addition, refiners cranked up production to 93.8 percent of capacity, likely contributing to the large 6.8 million barrel rise in gasoline inventories. This is the largest inventory total for the Great Lakes and Central states since mid-October, yet two million bbl below this time a year ago.
