Americans face record high petrol prices this Labor Day weekend

Americans face record high petrol prices this Labor Day weekend

Millions of Americans travelling for the Labor Day weekend are seeing record-high petrol prices, with the average gallon costing just under $4.10. Petrol prices are 90 cents more than a year ago, mainly due to ongoing conflict in the Middle East affecting energy costs. Government offices, banks, and the stock market are closed on Monday for the holiday, but most major retailers remain open.
