Fewer Plan To Travel For July 4, Despite Drop In Gas

WASINGTON - You may see fewer people on the road if you are traveling for the July 4 weekend, even though the price of gas has dropped in the last few weeks.
 
Gas in the D.C. metro region now averages about $3.66 a gallon for unleaded regular, down 7 cents from last week.
 
But, when people were making their plans a few weeks ago, AAA Mid-Atlantic spokesman John Townsend says gas prices spiked, and that may mean more people will stay home between June 30 and July 4.
