Millions of Americans traveling over the weekend paid the most expensive Labor Day gas prices in four years. Prices could get even more expensive, depending on the severity of Tropical Storm Gordon.
The National Hurricane Center expected Gordon to strengthen into a hurricane before making landfall somewhere between the Louisiana and Florida coastlines. So far, the storm has not affected gas prices, but that could change if refineries suffer damage or go offline.
Gas prices in Tennessee are slightly higher than a week ago. The state average of $2.59 per gallon is a half-cent more than last week, 7 cents less than last month, and 6 cents more than this time last year.
The national average price of regular unleaded is $2.83.
