While some will still travel to see family for Thanksgiving, most will be staying close to home and that's what is driving gas prices down.

The line of cars heading over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house will be a lot shorter this Thanksgiving, according to AAA Chicago.

A new survey of young Americans between the ages of 11 and 24 has provided a somewhat shocking statistic (at least to those of us in the Midwest).

Rockford area gas prices are currently hovering around $2.19 per gallon, which is 5 cents lower than last week when gas prices only dropped about a penny.

Cleo, a yellow Labrador Retriever/Border Collie mix apparently decided "I'm not gonna be in Kansas anymore," and hit the road for her family's former home in Missouri.

The last time the national gas price average leading into the holiday was under $2/gallon was 17 years ago in 2003. That year motorists paid, on average, $1.50 to fill-up.

Today’s national gas price average is $1.92. That is nine cents cheaper than last Monday, 48 cents less than a month ago and 81 cents less expensive than a year ago.

A survey recently asked what tops the list of the most stressful things at the holidays, and not surprisingly, it was traveling.

School's out, the weather is warm, and it's the perfect time to pack up and hit the road for summer vacation. But, where should you go?
