CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Drivers heading out for Memorial Day weekend are facing some of the highest gas prices in four years.
According to AAA, gas prices have hit a four-year high. In Corpus Christi, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is $4.13 — a 25-cent increase in the past week. Premium gas in Corpus Christi is averaging $5.12 a gallon.
Increased demand and the war with Iran are the main reasons for the higher prices.
AAA says prices are expected to remain high as the summer travel season gets underway.
