US gas prices hit record high for Labor Day weekend
–
Neutral summary
The average US gas price reached a record $4.14 per gallon for the Labor Day weekend, according to Clarín, citing AAA data. Diesel also hit an all-time high of $5.88 per gallon, which Newsweek says will raise costs for most consumer goods. The price surge is attributed to disruptions in crude flows through the Strait of Hormuz amid the conflict with Iran. Axios notes that August's monthly average of $4.07 broke the 2022 record, and current prices have surpassed the previous Labor Day high set in 2012.
