Millions of Americans are traveling over this Memorial Day weekend and most are driving to their destination.
One of the primary reasons for the high number this year is the low price of fuel. In Shreveport Bossier, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is $2.06. The lowest price is at $1.89.
