On average, you are paying about $2.97 a gallon across Louisiana.

The lowest prices in the state are in Pineville where motorists can find fuel for $2.39 a gallon. Drivers are paying between $2.65 and $2.90 a gallon in New Orleans. Prices in Baton Rouge range from $2.58 to $2.90 a gallon.

These prices are expected to continue climbing. DeHaan says we could be paying more than $3.00 a gallon in the near future. Higher fuel prices will likely have an impact on the price to transport goods which is already a big problem across the nation.
