Cheaper Gas Prices Help Memorial Day Travel
KENTUCKY & WEST VIRGINIA....
AAA says it expects 1.6 million more Americans will hit the highways this Memorial Day weekend than last year. Gasoline prices tumbled almost every day this month, and, on Friday, crude prices dropped again, bringing the national average price to $2.749 a gallon. A gallon of regular unleaded is 12 cents cheaper than it was a month ago and 8 cents cheaper than just a week ago, making the timing perfect for holiday travelers. If you're traveling to other states or just staying close to home, remember to take your time to be cautious, obey traffic laws and buckle up. Officers are out across the country participating in the national "Click it or Ticket" campaign.
