Pump Prices Drive Weekend Plans Off Course

The Takeaway

As memorial day approaches, Americans are topping off their gas tanks and getting ready for a long weekend away from home. But with gas prices creeping up across the country, American travel patterns are beginning to shift accordingly. For just over a week now, The Takeaway has been asking listeners to text us the price at their local pump. We’ve collated the information on an interactive map. In this conversation we discuss  some of our findings with  Andrea Bernstein, Director of the Transportation Nation project and senior correspondent for our flagship station WNYC.
