## Resource

Gas prices hit record highs this Labor Day weekend, with national averages nearing $4.03 and Tennessee at $3.83 — the priciest Labor Day ever. Global tensions, from Iran’s oil disruptions to drone strikes on Russian refineries, are tightening supply chains and driving up costs. Diesel is even worse, hitting $5.82, sending ripple effects through everyday expenses. Relief may come after summer demand drops and cheaper winter blends kick in, but global conflicts could delay that. Meanwhile, Middle Tennessee State University is honoring Dolly Parton by preserving her legacy — including her first-ever interview — keeping her music and story alive for future generations.
