— Sep 7, 2026
Labor Day gas prices are rising nationwide, with Georgia averaging $3.89 per gallon and Albany among the cheaper metro areas at $3.81, up almost a dollar from last year as travelers hit the road.

GasBuddy predicts record Labor Day gas prices amid global tensions

Labor Day 2027 is projected to bring record-high gas prices nationwide, with GasBuddy placing the national average around $4.03 per gallon and regional spikes including Lamorinda’s near $5.39 and Oregon/Washington in the high-$4s as supply tensions persist.
