“Gas prices around Memorial Day have not been this cheap in nearly 20 years. However, as the country continues to practice social distancing, this year’s unofficial kick-off to summer is not going to drive the typically millions of Americans to travel,” said Lloyd Albert, senior vice president of AAA public and government affairs, in a statement. “Despite inexpensive gas prices, AAA anticipates this year’s holiday will likely set a record low for travel volume.”
