Higher fuel costs are affecting travel plans. A significant increase in gas prices is being felt, with the national average now around $4.12 per gallon. Compared to last year, prices have risen substantially.

Further details are available on the impact of these price increases. For some drivers, filling a tank now costs around $14 more than it did a year ago.

The current gas prices make this a particularly expensive holiday weekend, according to GasBuddy.
