HUTCHINSON,
Kan. — 
Gas prices are continuing their traditional summer rise.

"In the 
past week, we've gone up four cents a gallon," said Shawn Steward with 
AAA Kansas. "We're at $1.94, pretty much the same story with the 
national gas price. It went up six cents a gallon in the past week to 
$2.17 a gallon."

Compared to this time last year, we are still over 50 cents lower.

"Gasoline
 demand actually saw a small week over week decline this past week, 
although we've been seeing a general upward trend recently," Steward 
said. "Gas demand continues to be significantly lower, about 21% less, 
compared to one year ago."

Gas prices are up 27 cents a gallon over a month ago in Kansas.
