Higher fuel prices blamed on flooding at S.E. Kansas refinery

Consumers are beginning to pay more at the pump because flooding at a southeast Kansas refinery has reduced fuel supplies.

Prices spiked ten cents a gallon overnight at some stations.

Industry experts say by the end of the week, prices could reach three dollars, 25 cents to three dollars, 50 cents a gallon in the Midwest and Great Lakes.

Over the next ten days, consumers could see the highest prices of the year.
