Georgia gas prices hit $3.89 as national average sets Labor Day record — 4dLabor 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. The national average nears $4.00 per gallon due to elevated crude prices, tight refining capacity, and supply constraints, with regional differences—Savannah at about $3.96 and northwest Georgia around $3.83—reflecting a mixed but generally higher price landscape across states.

Derek Foss Savannah prices are brutal compared to the rest of the state. Refining capacity issues always seem to hit right before a holiday weekend.

South Korea in talks on $22.3 billion Texas gas plant, denies deal is final — 5dSouth Korea and the United States are reportedly pursuing a roughly $22.3 billion investment to build a 6.3 GW LNG gas-fired power plant in Encinal, Texas, as the first major project under their 2025 bilateral trade framework; however, Seoul’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy has disputed some media reports, saying negotiations are ongoing and final details have not been confirmed. Reports also suggest possible follow-on projects, including a large-scale nuclear plant and an Alaska LNG venture, with no decision on nuclear construction announced yet.

Dana Whitfield Alaska LNG keeps popping up in these deals but never seems to actually break ground. Curious if this Texas plant fares any better.

Energy secretary predicts gas prices will fall despite record Labor Day costs — 5dGasoline prices are expected to ease as the summer driving season ends and refinery output is boosted, despite ongoing tensions in the Middle East and related supply concerns.

Marcus Bell Prices always seem to "ease" right after they hammer us on the holiday weekend. Funny how that timing works out.
