Average gasoline prices in the U.S. rose to $2.64 per gallon on Labor Day, their highest for the year to date, says AAA.
The national average was at $2.21 per gallon a year ago. The all-time high of $4.11 occurred in July 2008.
Monday’s average was 25 cents higher than on Aug. 25. That was the day Hurricane Harvey smashed into the Gulf Coast, home to half the country’s oil refining capacity. Analysts say roughly one-third of U.S. output was disrupted by the slow-moving storm.
At the state level, fuel price averages began this week within a range from $2.51 in Virginia to $3.11 in California, AAA reports.
