  The long Memorial Day weekend is approaching this week and the travel organization, AAA says 435,000 Oklahomans will be taking trips of 50 or more miles from home.
  
  The weekend travel period will be Thursday through Monday and AAA predicts the 435,000 Oklahomans will be among an expected 43.8 million to travel for the holiday. At least 38.4 million will be driving to their destinations.
  
  While travel by air and other modes of transportation will be up this year compared to Memorial Day 2023, the large majority – 87% of travelers – or over 380,000 Oklahoma residents – will take to the highways.
  
  Whereas most people drive for their family vacations and holiday trips, there are still expenses to plan for.
  
  Gas – The average gas price in Oklahoma is about $3.09/gallon, which has been trending about 50 cents less than the national average. After a rise in prices earlier this spring, prices have fallen and stayed fairly stable in recent weeks, putting Oklahoma’s average price 10 cents lower than a year ago.
