Headed home for the holidays? So are more than 100 million other Americans, by air, by road and by other means.

About 91 million of those travelers will be driving. Cheap gas and rising household income are fueling more car trips this year of at least 50 miles between Wednesday and Jan. 3, 2016, according to the AAA.

On Monday, the group announced that the average price per gallon for gas nationwide had dropped below $2 — its lowest level since March 2009.
