As Hurricane Harvey barrels into Texas refining hubs, gasoline prices have already begun to rise in Houston and nationwide.

​

Large Corpus Christi refiners Valero Energy, Flint Hills Resources and Citgo Petroleum said they're temporarily shutting down gasoline production along Corpus' refinery row, while Houston-area refiners are continuing to closely monitor the massive storm.

​

More than 25 percent of the nation's gasoline is refined along the Texas Gulf Coast. More than 50 percent comes from the entire Gulf Coast region, including inland Texas and Louisiana, according to the U.S. Energy Department.
