Labor Day Gas Prices Hit Record High | Tulsa News

Gas prices are skyrocketing this Labor Day weekend, hitting a record high of $4.03 per gallon — up from $3.16 last year and surpassing the 2012 peak. Global turmoil, including Iran’s shipping lane threats and drone strikes on Russian refineries, is crippling fuel supply and pushing refining costs through the roof. Travelers are cutting back, choosing local getaways over long trips to save cash. With winter blends and seasonal demand usually easing prices, this year’s geopolitical chaos has thrown those trends out the window. Experts warn relief may be delayed, so drivers should slow down, avoid heavy acceleration, lighten loads, and compare stations to stretch every dollar further.
