This year, AAA is projecting the highest travel volume for the holiday weekend in the last 10 years with 37.2 million Americans planning a Memorial Day trip. The vast majority of travelers will be hitting the road, with nearly 90 percent of people driving to their destinations.
Most drivers will likely pay the lowest Memorial Day gas prices in at least five years. Today's national average price of gas is $2.66, $1.00 less than the average price on Memorial Day last year.
The 4.7 percent increase over Memorial Day 2014 is the highest forecast growth rate for any of the holidays tracked by AAA since Independence Day 2012.
More than 33 million will travel by vehicle, an increase of 5.3 percent over last Memorial Day.
