Breaking Down The Great American “Road Trip”
We’re in the thick of summer, so a gas company recently commissioned a study to determine what a “typical” road trip looks like (for one, we’ll paying a LOT on gas, thank you very much). After consulting 2,000 people . . .
- The typical road trip lasts just under four hours . . .
- Covers 150 miles . . .
- Includes 4 people . . .
- Who play 2 travel games . . .
- On average, you’ll hear 4 cries of “Are we there yet?”
- Families have on average 2 arguments per road trip.
- Involve things like: Windows being open or closed, who sits where, and who ate the snacks.
- A total of 6 snacks are consumed . . .
- With the most popular being sandwiches, chips, and sweet stuff.
- 41% love listening to the radio . . .
- A typical road trip has about 40 songs.
- Pit stops last roughly 17 minutes . . .
- And we usually go on 8 road trips like these per year.
