 With the long summer winding down, many travelers are hoping to send off the season with a beachfront vacation over Labor Day weekend. While their destinations may be different, a growing number of Southern Californians will be hitting the open roads in search of fun this weekend, and many of them will be doing so in the luxurious accommodations of a class A motor home.
According to a recent study performed by the Auto Club of Southern California, an estimate 91 percent of the 2.5 million residents of the sunny region will be driving to their vacation destination this year, an increase of four percent over the previous year's study, reports the LA Times.
One of the reasons for the growth in travel is the dipping price of gasoline, with the average gas price reaching only $2.68, the lowest average since February, according to the Energy Department's weekly telephone survey.
"Combine that with a lot of pent-up demand for holiday travel that motorists skipped in 2009 because of the deep recession and you have a recipe for a bigger Labor Day weekend this year," Tom Kloza, the chief oil analyst for the Oil Price Information Service, told the news provider. "People by and large have returned to the roads this summer. In fact, this was the biggest lift in demand from spring to summer in at least a decade."
