The last holiday of summer is just ahead and tens of thousands of Iowans will hit the road for the Labor Day weekend. AAA Iowa spokesman Brian Ortner says the record-breaking summer travel season will wrap up with what’s anticipated to be another exceptionally busy holiday for get-away vacations.
Since most Iowa kids are already back in school, regional road trips tend to be the most popular Labor Day option for families.
The majority of vacationers over Labor Day will be traveling by motor vehicle, and Ortner does -not- expect any major jumps in gas prices in Iowa before the weekend.
Gas prices vary widely across Iowa. The most expensive fuel is reported in Dubuque at $3.45/gallon, while Sioux City has the cheapest gas at $2.98/gallon.
