Kansas fuel analyst Lyle Goltz reports self-serve regular gasoline at under $1 in Dodge City and Lawrence, in the mid-90s near Kansas City suburbs, and around 90 cents in Topeka and Wichita.

Prices were down roughly 11 to 12 cents from December, and the leaded-unleaded gap narrowed from seven to five cents in the past year.
