NORTHFIELD, MN — Northfield residents who plan to travel by car ahead of the long holiday weekend will face the most expensive Memorial Day gas prices since 2014, according to the American Automobile Association.

The national average of $3.03 per gallon of gas is $1.12 more expensive than last year, notes AAA.

Memorial Day travel is also expected to rebound significantly compared to 2020.

"AAA expects 37 million Americans to travel, mostly by car and plane, for the Memorial Day holiday weekend," Jeanette McGee, a spokesperson AAA, said in a news release.

"That is a 60 percent increase over last year’s holiday and a strong indication that summer travel is going to be largely popular."

AAA provided the following Memorial Day travel tips:

Make a good BET before hitting the road: get your battery, engine and tires checked.

Consider refueling when your gas tank level hits ¼ of a tank.

Fill up before arriving at your vacation destination. Gas prices are likely to be cheaper outside of popular travel destinations.

Use your AAA app to find the closest gas station on your route. You can always call ahead to confirm their pumps are flowing.

Do not leave home without an emergency roadside kit. Include a mobile phone and car charger, first-aid kit, blankets, drinking water, a flashlight with extra batteries, a basic toolkit, warning flares and jumper cables. Don’t forget extra snacks or meals, as well as cleaning supplies, including disinfecting wipes.
