AAA expects that 119.3 million people will travel 50 miles or more from home over the year-end holiday period running from Dec. 21 to Jan. 1, an increase of 3 million compared to last year.

‍Americans like to travel, and driving remains our favorite mode of transportation, by far. Nearly 90% of holiday travelers will drive to their destination. The 107 million people expected to travel by car is 2.5 million higher than last year but just under the record 108 million in 2019.

With this increase in travel, one thing is certain: there’ll be more visits to the gas stations and their trusty companions, convenience stores.
