Pump prices are climbing in many states but not Oregon in the wake of Hurricane Laura which hammered the Gulf Coast last week, and also due to an increase in demand to one of the highest measurements of the year as the Labor Day holiday approaches. For the week, the national average jumps four cents to $2.23 a gallon. The Oregon average holds steady at $2.67.
