| | Gas prices in state set record |
 | | The high cost of gas isn't expected to deter an estimated 33.4 million Americans from traveling 50 miles or more from home over the coming Labor Day holiday -- some 28.2 million travelers will leave by motor vehicle and 3.7 million by airplane, travel experts predict. |
 | | But, he said, the price of gasoline is "so out of whack with reality" that once traders get over their anxiety that there is a big gas shortage, prices are going to drop quickly, possibly as soon as the end of the Labor Day weekend but certainly by Halloween. |
