Does the EIA publish a diesel price for Kansas?

No. The EIA weekly on-highway diesel survey covers the United States, five PADDs, three PADD 1 sub-districts, West Coast less California, and California. Kansas is not surveyed, so this page shows Midwest (PADD 2) and labels it as a district figure.

Combined with the federal diesel tax of 24.4 cents per gallon, the total tax on a gallon of diesel in Kansas is 51.4 cents, or 8 percent of the price shown above.

Read this as a district figure, not a state figure. The EIA weekly on-highway diesel survey prices the United States, its districts and California, and nothing else. It does not price Kansas. The number above is Midwest (PADD 2), series EMD_EPD2D_PTE_R20_DPG, and it is the closest published federal figure for Kansas. We do not estimate a price for Kansas from it. 3 of Kansas's neighbouring states sit in the same district and therefore show the same price below.

EIA does not publish a weekly on-highway diesel price for Kansas. The federal survey prices the district Kansas sits in, Midwest (PADD 2), at $6.480 per gallon in the week of October 26, 2026 (series EMD_EPD2D_PTE_R20_DPG), $0.13 above the US average of $6.352. Pump prices inside the district vary around that figure.

Off-road (dyed) diesel in Kansas

Red-dyed diesel is the same fuel as clear diesel, sold without highway fuel taxes for uses off the public road. How Kansas treats it, checked 25 October 2026. Rules for every state are on the off-road diesel guide.

Federal: dyed diesel skips the federal diesel tax except 0.1c. IRS news release IR-2026-122 (14 October 2026) waives federal penalties for highway use of dyed diesel from 1 October 2026 to 31 December 2026; state rules below still apply.

50.26ca gallon of per-gallon tax skipped: 24.3c federal and 25.96c Kansas taxes and fees, though sales tax may apply instead (below).

Kansas fuel tax on dyed diesel

Dyed diesel used only for nonhighway purposes is exempt from Kansas's 26c special fuel tax.

Sales tax

6.5% state sales tax plus local tax applies automatically. Farm machinery fuel used in growing and harvesting crops is exempt with form ST-28F; fuel for building ponds, terraces or site grading is taxable.

Per-gallon charges dyed diesel still pays

Environmental assurance fee (all petroleum): 1.0c; Petroleum products inspection fee ($0.015 a barrel): 0.04c

Who may use it

Nonhighway purposes only; never in a motor vehicle's tank in Kansas.

Penalty for highway use

Using dyed fuel for a taxable purpose is a felony. Administrative penalty of $10 a gallon or $1,000 to $10,000 for a first violation, $25 a gallon or $5,000 to $50,000 after that, plus the tax.

Roadside testing

The Kansas Department of Revenue may inspect for compliance.

Buying it

No permit; farmers give the seller form ST-28F for the sales tax exemption.
