The upcoming Memorial Day weekend could be a real pain for travelers, but there's some good news about gas prices compared to 2022.
AAA expects a 7% increase in Americans traveling 50 miles or more from their homes during Memorial Day weekend compared to 2022, as pandemic-era travel continues to grow.
Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner, ready to kick off the traditional spring and summer travel season that will stretch through Labor Day."This is expected to be the third busiest Memorial Day weekend since 2000, when AAA started tracking holiday travel," said Paula Twidale, Senior Vice President of AAA Travel. "More Americans are planning trips and booking them earlier, despite inflation.
"With lower fuel prices and more travelers on the road compared to last year, drivers should expect long delays this holiday weekend, especially in and around major metros as commuters mix with Memorial Day travelers," said Bob Pishue, transportation analyst at INRIX.
