Gas Price Update: See Cost Of A Gallon In Oswego Ahead Of Labor Day

OSWEGO, IL — Labor Day is approaching, which means plenty of Oswego residents are planning to hit the road for one last summer outing.

With road trips, the cost of gas is always something to consider.

At around $4.06 per gallon in Kendall County, gas prices were just below the state average, coming in at $4.07 Tuesday — up 9 cents from a month ago, AAA data show. Nationally, the price per gallon of gas was going for an average of $3.82 Tuesday.

With Labor Day coming up Sept. 4, gas demand and volatile oil prices, coupled with an active hurricane season, could limit how much gas prices dip in the coming weeks, according to AAA.

"Although the national average did a U-turn this week, the road ahead could lead to higher prices," Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson, said in a statement. "Ongoing concerns regarding potential storm activity could hinder falling pump prices this fall."

• Delta Sonic Car Wash, 1924 Route 34: $3.91 per gallon
