Lower Gas Prices Encouraging More Summer Road Trips

More Americans are planning to hit the road this summer compared to 2015, according to the annual summer travel study conducted by GasBuddy.

Over 75 percent said they would be traveling this summer, a 2.2 percent increase from last year, with an overwhelming majority of 79 percent doing so by car.

At $2.23, the current national average is almost 50 cents per gallon lower today than a year ago.

People are noticing too: 26 percent said they will take advantage of low prices compared to just 17 percent saying the same thing last summer.
