Millions of drivers are on roads across the country, traveling for Memorial Day weekend.
Those drivers should all notice the same thing: a jump at the pump.
The national average for gas is 31-percent higher than last Memorial Day weekend.
This weekend annually is often the peak for gasoline prices as demand starts to wane through the summer and in the fall.
A Gulf Coast storm and the Iran Sanctions are contributing to the steep rise in gas prices.
The national average is $2.97.
The average gas price in the Pittsburgh area is $3.18.
