Over forty million Americans will be traveling this Fourth of July holiday.
The price of gasoline will play a factor in travel plans, but thankfully, a year-to-date peak has already been set at an average price of $3.94 per gallon for regular gasoline. The current national average price of regular gasoline is $3.50 per gallon, which is 15 cents less than this time last year.
The average distance traveled by Americans during the Fourth of July holiday weekend is expected to be 723 miles, which is an increase this year.
Police will be out in force to patrol for intoxicated an unrestrained motorists.
