A record number of Americans are expected to hit the road over the December holiday period as gas prices slide to lows not seen since the pandemic.
About 109.5 million Americans are projected to drive 50 miles (80 kilometers) or more from home from Dec. 20 to New Year’s Day, representing a 2.2% increase from a year earlier, the American Automobile Association said. Some 8 million are projected to fly over that period as well, up 2.3% from 2024.
