HOUSTON, Oct 19 (Reuters) - A ban on U.S. exports of gasoline and other refined products will not reduce prices for motorists, the chief executive of pipeline and storage provider Kinder Morgan, said on Wednesday.

"It won't have the desired effect," Steven Kean, CEO of the Houston-based company said during a conference call with analysts. He said the company does not believe a ban will emerge "as it is thought through more." (Reporting by Arathy Somasekhar in Houston Editing by Chris Reese)
