## Resource

This Labor Day, drivers are bracing for the priciest holiday gas prices ever — fueled by global turmoil, especially around the Strait of Hormuz, where oil flows are disrupted. While regular gas is down from its 2022 peak, diesel has hit record highs, sending shockwaves through trucking, agriculture, and everyday goods. With refineries at full capacity, extreme Texas heat, hurricane threats, and falling output from Ukraine’s drone strikes and China’s refineries, relief may be delayed. Even if futures hint at lower prices later, real-world pump costs depend on volatile geopolitics and supply chains — making this year’s trip a little more expensive for everyone.
