Travel Smart This July Fourth | Tech News

This July Fourth, over 72 million Americans are hitting the road — but with gas prices at four-year highs and airfare soaring, smart planning is your secret weapon. Driving your own car often beats renting, especially with car rentals up 10% and Thursday, July 2nd, the busiest day. EVs save on fuel, but charging stops add time — and public chargers still cost less per mile than gas. Traffic’s worst on July 2nd, 3rd, and 5th, 3–6 PM — leave early to dodge the jam. Check your car before you go — last year saw hundreds of thousands of roadside calls. If flying, book flexible dates and parking ahead. With more travelers and higher costs, plan wisely to enjoy the fireworks — not your wallet. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
