Gas Prices Expected To Hit Record High This Labor Day

According to AAA, drivers will pay more at the pump this Labor Day weekend.  They report the national average will hit $4.14 a gallon.  That would be nearly a dollar more from last year when the national average was $3.17.  Locally, the average cost is $4.29 a gallon for regular.  Analysts blame global supply disruptions tied to tensions in the Middle East and attacks on Russian refineries.  GasBuddy says prices may drop later this month as demand eases, and cheaper Winter fuel returns to the market.
