Hurricane Harvey Could Impact Gas Prices

Last updated on Monday, August 28, 2017

(UNDATED) - Hurricane Harvey is likely not to have a impact on your weather, but it may have an impact on your wallet.

GasBuddy.com says hundreds of off-shore wells as well as several refineries in Texas may shut down due to the storm.

Officials says they don't know yet how prices will be affected, but a worst-case scenario would be major damage to a large refining hub in Houston, which if shutdown could cause prices to rise significantly all across the country.
