Gasoline prices head skyward all over again
Prices for regular gasoline surged after a brief drop in September. Ottawa stations posted $1.94 per gallon with nearby Mirastar offering two cents less. AAA notes higher crude prices due to Hurricane Ivan, lifting state averages from $1.81 to $1.95, with diesel at $2.10 and mid and premium fuels also rising. Lawrence, Wichita, and Topeka show similar increases, reflecting broader wartime energy cost pressures.
