(CNN) – If you plan to fill up your gas tank ahead of Labor Day weekend, you may notice the unusually high prices at the pumps.

Gas prices are near all-time highs right now.

AAA says the average national price is $3.82 a gallon.

The record-high for gas during the week leading up to labor day is just 2 cents higher than that at $3.84 a gallon, set in 2012, according to a CNN review of federal data.

AAA says 11 states across the country are averaging $4 a gallon or more.

Analysts say for a variety of reasons, including extreme heat and OPEC holding back supply. Gas prices could remain elevated well into the fall.
