NewzGasoline prices in the United States reached a record high ahead of the Labor Day weekend, making it the most expensive time ever to fill up a tank for end-of-summer holiday travel. The nationwide average for regular gasoline climbed to $4.14 per gallon as drivers prepared for their final summer trips.

The historic surge at the pump is driven by a combination of ongoing refinery issues and the impacts of the war involving Iran.
