A record-breaking 112.5 million Americans are traveling this holiday season as gas prices fall to their lowest in 16 months, according to data and forecasting by AAA Travel.

More than 34 percent of the country’s population was expected to travel during the holidays, the largest share since AAA started to make the forecasts in 2001.
