Triple A says the national average one week prior to Memorial Day was $ 2. 71 a gallon.

26 cents higher than a month prior. Though that's still pretty low all things considered. Bloomberg reports hotel rates are also up over last year, partly due to advanced reservations for the summer. But one industry analyst doesn't think demand will flinch much, because there are still very good deals out there. And once the traveling and lodging is out of the way, it's time to kick back, relax and enjoy some barbecue. Which Americans can't get enough of come summertime. Take hot dogs, for instance. According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council. From Memorial Day to Labor Day Americans typically consume 7 billion hotdogs.

That's 818 per second. But hot dogs aren't the most popular meat Americans like hot off the grill. According to the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association, hot dogs rank third in popularity behind burgers and steaks and ranks ahead of chicken. So, enjoy the holiday, along with all the other travelers out there.
