Gas prices rise in Shreveport and Bossier City

Gas prices in the Shreveport and Bossier City metro area have increased by 5 cents per gallon this week, bringing the average for regular unleaded fuel to $3.68. This reflects a 37-cent increase compared to the same time last year, when local drivers paid an average of $2.68.

Industry analysts suggest these elevated costs may remain stable or continue to rise through the Labor Day holiday travel period. The price increases are attributed to global crude oil prices, market volatility, and supply chain factors.
