MILWAUKEE - Getting out town this Labor Day weekend? You're among some 33 million Americans doing so. 

More than half are doing so, by car, despite higher gas prices. 

Triple A reports we're paying 21 cents more right now, than what we did on Labor Day of last year.

Triple-A puts the national average at $3.83 per gallon as of Friday.

There are increased patrols for the holiday weekend in southeast Wisconsin as police look to catch drunk drivers.

In addition, officers will be searching for those who are not buckled up.

The additional enforcements will continue through Monday night.
