Storm drives up national gas prices
Hurricane Harvey drove a jump in gas prices across the United States with the national average at 2.37 dollars, four cents above last week. Kansas averaged 2.21 dollars, up three cents, as Gulf Coast refiners faced shutdowns and reduced operations. Refineries and pipelines faced disruptions, and EPA waivers on gasoline standards were issued to ease potential shortages while officials cautioned prices could rise until damage assessments are clear.
