AAA projects the second highest traveled Memorial Day on record, falling just shy of the record 44 million in 2005.
More than 2.3 million Floridians are expected to hit the road, traveling more than 50 miles. While road travel is ideal for flexibility, drivers are expected to pay more at the pump with Florida gas prices averaging $3.41 per gallon.
Drivers can improve gas mileage during road trips with routine maintenance. Regular oil changes, checking tire pressure and ensuring you have a clean air filter can help optimize engine performance. AAA’s Mobile app can also help you find assistance if needed.
