Memorial Day weekend is here, and holiday travel will be met with high gas prices.

The statewide gas price average in Missouri is $4.17 while in Arkansas, the average price currently stands at $4.11 per gallon according to AAA.
Despite the high gas prices, AAA in both states as well as around the country expects to see a large number of people hitting the roads for the three-day weekend.
