What accounts for the road trip fever? One possible factor is the falling price of gas \u2014 down <\/span>26%<\/span><\/a> since September 18th \u2014 which vacationers may see as a cost-saving opportunity. Interestingly enough, average airfare in US cities is <\/span>currently lower<\/span><\/a> than it was leading up to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 (based on data from December 2023), so airlines themselves are not obviously to blame.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” z_index=”1″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]

As it stands, 5% of Americans are planning international trips in the coming year, the most popular destinations being Europe and the Caribbean. Luxury cruises and transatlantic flights certainly have their place, but the numbers are a clear reminder that America\u2019s nostalgic and frugal soul still rides on four wheels.<\/span><\/p>\n
