Gas prices
AAA Travel predicts 33 million Americans will drive at least 50 miles for holiday activities during the three-day weekend, up from the 32.1 million people who traveled during the same period last year. In Utah they'll be paying an average of $3.68 at the pump, 10 cents below the national average but above the $3.53 a gallon average a year ago and the $3.43 they were paying only last month, according to AAA.
"We have some of the lowest gas prices in the country," Rolayne Fairclough, AAA Utah spokesperson, said. "There are only 15 states with lower gas prices. I believe we're still going to take those trips that we've planned."
Mild temperatures are expected throughout Utah with the only possible interruptions Saturday thunderstorms in mountain areas.
