At least 2.9 million Southern California travelers are expected to hit the road this Memorial Day weekend despite higher prices at the pump.
The increased number of travelers is a sign that people need a break and are wanting to get out and connect, even though the cost of goods and services is higher these days.
In the Los Angeles-Long Beach metro area, a gallon of regular self-serve gasoline costs just under the state average: $5.13.
Despite the tensions overseas, the potentially volatile effect on crude oil prices has been kept in check by spare production, according to recent U.S. Energy Information Administration projections.
