AAA projects an increase in Memorial Day travelers
JACKSON, Tenn. — The lucky Memorial Day travelers have already hit the road, but for everyone else, expect some company along the roadways.
The American Automobile Association (AAA) estimates more than 770,000 people will travel 50 miles or more over the three day holiday.
Across the country, the number is a little more than 38 million travelers.
Fortunately, Tennessee gas prices are about $2.09 per gallon for unleaded as opposed to average gas prices a year ago being nearly $2.44 per gallon for unleaded, according to AAA.
These gas prices are the lowest prices in 11 years.
