Busy Thanksgiving Travel Predicted, Lower Gas Prices

Thanksgiving is just a week away – and travel is expected to be high this year, just as it has been for all the other holidays. 

Triple-A Iowa spokesman Brian Ortner:

That region includes Iowa, as well as Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Missouri, and South Dakota. Ortner says travel will surpass what we saw prior to the pandemic.

While the roads will be busy, he says traveling will cost a little less.

Iowa has a statewide average of two-dollars-73 cents for a gallon of gas, which is less than the national average of $3.06.
