kudos:5 | Labor Day Weekend gas prices highest ever in US » www.foxnews.com/us/2012/09/03/us···+Text%29The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline hit $3.80 on Monday, up 14 cents from the same time last year, the highest price ever recorded during a Labor Day weekend, GasBuddy.com reports.
On Friday, the average price of gas was $3.83 per gallon, according to AAA. Monday’s price of $3.80 beat the Labor Day record of $3.68 set in 2008, the association reported.
Average gas prices grew by nearly 31 cents a gallon in August and have risen 11 cents since August 22
According to GasBuddy.com, the lowest gas prices could be found in Colorado, New Mexico and South Carolina, which average about $3.50 a gallon, while Hawaii, Illinois and California offer the highest prices, at more than $4 a gallon.
I paid $3.66/gal a week ago in NJ. Glad I have a hybrid getting 36MPG. The SUVs getting 15 MPG have to be hurting. --

the speculators always raise prices for the holidays. This year they got to blame it on a hurricane knowing that even after it blows through they can ride the high gas prices not only through the last big road trip holiday of the summer but also through the long distance trekking of bringing kids back to college.
They will excuse another price increase for the Thanksgiving-Christmas run too. Naturally like all fuel increases, the speculation is absolutely independent from actual demand or even projected demand.
