Ida & Labor Day Could Mean Higher Gas Prices

You may be paying more at the pump thanks to a one-two punch from the upcoming Labor Day weekend and Hurricane Ida which shut down refineries in the Gulf. Colonial Pipeline also shut down its lines from Houston to North Carolina as a precaution but officials say they will be back online after an inspection is completed. Triple-A reports the statewide average for a gallon of regular unleaded is $2.95 which remains below the national average of $3.15.
