HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Gas prices are still relatively high, but at least they aren't that much different than last week.

"Things have seemed to settle down a bit," said Shawn Steward with AAA of Kansas. "We are seeing some tight gasoline supplies now, which are preventing prices from falling at the pumps.".

"There could be some pretty high demand for gas as people take off on summer vacations, despite the higher gas prices than we've seen in recent years," Steward said.

Steward notes that people may modify other choices like how nice a hotel to book in an effort to have the additional money to spend on gas.

"There's nothing new here," Steward said. "It's just the fluctuating crude oil prices, with global uncertainty and volatility going on. That's impacting what we're seeing for gas prices."

The national average continues to be considerably above Kansas at $4.19 a gallon Monday
