Gas prices are falling just in time for the holidays

If you're driving somewhere over the Thanksgiving weekend, you'll have lots of company on the roads.

AAA forecasts 42.5 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, a four percent increase from the 40.9 million people who traveled one year ago.

"AAA is projecting an increase in the number of Thanksgiving travelers this year, due mostly to pent-up demand from Americans who may have foregone holiday travel the last three years," said Robert L. Darbelnet, AAA President & CEO. "As consumers weigh the fear of economic uncertainty and the desire to create lasting family memories this holiday, more Americans are expected to choose family and friends over frugality."

AAA says the average price of a gallon of gas in Iowa is $3.27.  Decorah gas stations are selling regular for $3.19 a gallon.
