Planning on driving or flying this Independence Day weekend? Record numbers of travelers are expected, with much lower gas prices than in 2022.
The national average gas price is about a dollar below 2022 levels for this time of year, with the current average sitting between $3.50 and $3.60 a gallon.
AAA expects 50.7 million Americans to travel 50 miles or more this Independence Day weekend, with 43.2 million expected to drive, representing a 4% increase over 2019 and a 2.4% increase over 2022. But this upcoming Independence Day weekend could actually see a record number of travelers, AAA projects, beating a previous record set in 2019.
"We've never projected travel numbers this high for Independence Day weekend," said Paula Twidale, Senior Vice President of AAA Travel. "What this tells us is that despite inventory being limited and some prices 50% higher, consumers are not cutting back on travel this summer. Many of them heeded our advice and booked early, another sign of strong travel demand."
