Higher fuel costs and a weak economy are two factors that the American Automobile Association says will keep more Americans from traveling over the Labor Day Holiday weekend this year.  Triple-A Idaho’s Dave Carlson says its the first decline for the end of summer holiday in two years.

Other tips for a safe and more economical trip include: driving gently by avoiding excessive braking and rapid acceleration and motorists should avoid driving faster than the posted speed limit. For more information visit the Triple-A website at www.AAA.com .
