(Radio Iowa) - The last holiday of summer is just ahead and tens of thousands of Iowans will hit the road for the Labor Day weekend.
Triple-A-Iowa spokesman Brian Ortner says the record-breaking summer travel season will wrap up with Labor Day weekend travel expected to be up nine percent compared to last year. He says the cost of domestic travel is down two percent. He says with most Iowa kids are already back in school, regional road trips tend to be the most popular Labor Day option for families.
Gas prices vary widely across Iowa. The most expensive fuel is reported in Dubuque at three-45 a gallon, while Sioux City has the cheapest gas at two-98.
