( NewsNation ) — When it comes to vacation driving and flying, the U. S. is poised for record summer. And that’s good news to the country’s biggest consortium of oil suppliers.
According to the most recent OPEC news,” The U.S. continues with steady speed that may exceed the current annual development forecast.”
According to AAA and JP Morgan, the average cost for a gallon of unleaded regular gas was reach$ 4 per gallon by the summer. Since August of 2022, when the average cost was close to$ 5, that would be the most expensive fuel ever.

Other experts disagree, saying that” we do not see a$ 4 per gallon nationwide average as a likely outcome for 2024,” according to petroleum analyst Patrick De Hann of the website GasBuddy.
On Friday, Triple A’s average global price for a gallon of gas was$ 3.63. That’s 24 percent more than one month previously, but just a penny more than one year ago.
Budget guests may be in the majority this season despite the cost of fuel making numerous choose a place closer to home. Vacation journey demand is sky- great — with sky- higher prices.
” If you thought go was active and costly in 2023, 2024 is crazier than always”, said Seattle- based vacation agent Kari Mollan.

” Flights are up to prior- pandemic costs. Europe, particularly Italy, is already occupied for the summers. You’ll need to spend$ 1, 000 on something respectable and conveniently located in the busiest tourist areas.
She claims that many vacationers are reducing their air travel to make up for the higher charges, choosing “premium manager” over business school, making shorter journeys, and flying midweek for lower charges.
Mollan adds that bridge travel is expected to be just as active as before the crisis.
” Federal gardens are wonderful — if you can get a room reservation. My number one priority when traveling is freedom. Pack your persistence”.
