If you plan on traveling this holiday weekend, the gas pump has great news. According to GasBuddy, Memorial Day weekend gas prices are trending to be the second lowest since 2003 at $3.08 per gallon when adjusted for inflation. Gas prices were below $2 a gallon in 2020, when many states were under stay-at-home orders or similar travel restrictions.

That could inspire some travelers to put on some extra miles this weekend for Memorial Day, which is traditionally one of the busiest travel weekends of the summer. AAA predicts 39.4 million Americans will drive at least 50 miles throughout the holiday weekend, many of whom will head to Door County to celebrate Memorial Day. Door County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Kyle Veeser asks motorists to keep their eyes on the road and limit distractions due to the expected increased traffic.

Veeser asks motorists also to consider the road construction in southern Door County and the Jacksonport area. GasBuddy is not just predicting a busy Memorial Day weekend in terms of summer travel. According to their survey, approximately 70 percent of Americans plan on taking a road trip this summer to take advantage of the low gas prices while being strategic with their dollars spent.
