Summer Driving Trips
Despite gas prices above $2 per gallon, the American Automobile Association expects a record number of travelers on the road.
Westerners top the list. According to AAA's national surveys, about 7.4 million of us will take a driving vacation over the Memorial Day weekend. The average family of four – two adults and two kids – will spend about $125 a night on lodging and $110 a day on meals during a vacation. Fuel costs remain a relatively small part of overall vacation budgets.
Driving to Seattle from Spokane, a 279-mile trip, in a 2004 Honda Accord requires 9.3 gallons of fuel, and costs approximately $21, according to AAA's fuel cost calculator. Spokane was recently added to the list of cities included in the calculator, which estimates fuel cost by distance, vehicle, year and model.
