memorial-day-travel

There’s exciting news for gas stations.  A lot of Americans will be hitting the pumps this weekend.  Triple-A released its Memorial Day travel report, and they’re predicting a record number of Americans will travel this year.  They expect 45-million people to travel this year, up a notch from last year, at 44.8-million.  The report says slightly more than 39-million will drive, almost 4-million will fly, and slightly more than 2-million will use some other form of transportation like trains and buses.  The national average for a gallon of gasoline last year was $3.17 on Memorial Day weekend.  Currently the national average is $4.56.  Here in Blair County the average cost is $4.54.
