“While overall travel projections are down, those who head out for July 4^th and beyond are expected to drive to their destinations,” said Mark Schieldrop, Public and Legislative Affairs Specialist, in a press release. “This increased demand is leading to higher gas prices, though motorists will still pay much less than they did a year ago.”

The range in prices in the latest AAA survey for unleaded regular is 60 cents, from a low of $1.79 to a high of $2.39.
