Record High Gas Prices For Holiday Travel

FAST FACTS: Tips To Save Gas

MIAMI (CBS4) ― It's news you simply don't want to hear the week before Thanksgiving but if you're traveling for the holiday, be prepared to take a big hit in the wallet.

According to a survey by AAA, a gallon of regular unleaded gas in Broward County has hit an all-time high of $3.16.

In Miami-Dade, one gallon of regular unleaded gas has reached $3.18, which is up between 30-cents and 35-cents over the last month.

To make matters worse, the government's top energy forecaster has warned that gas prices could climb another 20 cents over the next two to three weeks because crude oil prices are nearing a hundred dollars a barrel.

However, there are other factors like the weak U.S. dollar and the approach of winter.
