Gas Prices Push Travelers to Pause | New Orleans News

Gas prices hit a new high this Labor Day weekend, pushing regular unleaded to $4.14 per gallon — up 32 cents since 2012.

With fall travel uncertain due to global market shifts, experts urge drivers to conserve fuel with simple tips like cruise control and proper tire pressure.
