Demand for gasoline remains high in Louisiana and the rest of the U.S. And, that will likely mean drivers will be shelling out even more for a fill up this week.
AAA reports the average price of regular in the Pelican State is up 16 cents from a month ago to around $2.52 a gallon. It's averaging $2.49 in Baton Rouge.
This time last year, the fuel was more than 30 cents cheaper.
