Labor Day gas prices hit record high as millions hit the road for holiday weekend

Other way to put it this holiday weekend with the average price for a gallon of gas in california now sitting at 584 I mean between rent and the fuel I Work, that's what I work for nationally triple-a says the average is 414 on track to make this Labor Day The most expensive at the pump ever the previous record set back in 2012 at 382 this is about I think 80 $80. Yeah, and it doesn't last super long and filling up in Hayward where a gallon of regular is going for 539 the sticker shock particularly acute for folks like her hailing from elsewhere in the country I am from Texas so the prices here are a lot more expensive for sure Oakland and San Jose both averaging around 584 a gallon and San Francisco sitting at a whopping 599 according to gas buddy But if you're expecting the pumped up petrol prices to free up the roadways on Monday experts say think again You say look it's gonna what most cars have a 15 gallon tank It's gonna be $15 more this year to fill up than it was last year again people are gonna be grumpy about it But they're still gonna do it. It's only $15 What they might do is scale back in other ways David Park of that mindset out visiting friends over the holiday I mean, I still need to get gas to get around So like you still need to pay what you got to do You know I'm saying still others like and directing their ire at Washington the war in Iran still limiting oil Tanker traffic through the straight of her moves. We need to do something about our president we need to do something about Congress and we need to like Get some new people in that care about us Air travel also not immune from the conflict higher jet fuel prices mean higher airfares Including two popular spots like Seattle, Orlando and Boston of roughly 20% this weekend Despite the hike the TSA expected to screen more than 17 million travelers and that includes Chris Pope fresh off scene K-pop band Big Bang play in the Bay Area both now at Oakland Airport Preparing to head home to LA to catch BTS before jetting off to New York to see yet another act It's just gonna be a long long weekend for me. What they're for sure And that's where traffic on the roads pretty quiet right now sort of the calm before the storm peak congestion Expected from 2 to 5 tomorrow when everyone returns back from that holiday weekend Mike Yeah, busy one tomorrow indeed Zaxos live tonight in Alameda Zach appreciate it.
