Road Trip! AAA Says a Third of Americans Plan to Travel This Year
Auto club says consumers are saving money on fuel, giving them more to spend.
A survey by AAA shows 35 percent of American families plan to take a vacation 50 miles or more from home this year. More than half of those who responded (55 percent) say they’re more likely to take a road trip because fuel prices are lower than they were a year ago. The auto club says this summer’s fuel prices should be the lowest they’ve been in 12 years. AAA Michigan spokesperson Susan Hiltz tells WDET’s Pat Batcheller cheaper fuel is the main reason people plan to travel. Click on the audio player to hear the conversation.
