There’s also an enhanced gas-cost calculator featuring additional destination options, a miles-per-gallon (MPG) filter and results comparisons between locations to assist drivers with fuel savings,” she added.
Motorists can find current prices along their route with the free AAA Mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android, available at AAA.com/mobile. The app also can be used by AAA members to map a trip, find discounts, book a hotel and access AAA roadside assistance.
