Hitting the Road July 4th Weekend? You Won’t be the Only One!

    If you’re hitting the road over the holiday weekend, you may find some more traffic than usual.

    FOX’s Jack Callaghan explains:

    Driven by lower gas prices, 43 million Americans are expected to travel over the upcoming Independence Day weekend and the American Automobile Association predicts the majority of them, about 84%, will travel by car.

    The estimate is the highest since 2001. Gas prices are on average, 46 cents a gallon lower from a year ago, and because of that Triple A says drivers have already saved a combined $20 billion this year and 2016 should be a record setting year from summertime travel.

    The extended holiday weekend for the Auto Club’s estimates, starts Thursday June 30 and runs through Monday July 4.
