Despite the fact that gasoline prices have risen substantially over the past year, Thanksgiving travel is expected to be up four percent from a year ago, says AAA Southern New England. According to the nonprofit auto club, a record 38.9 million Americans plan to travel 100 miles or more from home for the holiday this year, compared to 37.4 million people last year.
AAA’s Thanksgiving survey of gasoline prices in Rhode Island found that the average price of self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline is $1.62 per gallon. The average price was $1.33 per gallon for the same period a year ago.
