The GfK NOP survey also found that despite high fuel costs, Americans still plan to hit the road for the holiday. Asked if they plan to travel less this Thanksgiving weekend compared to 2004, nearly two-thirds (64%) say they will travel the same amount or more and less than one-quarter (24%) say they will cut back their drive time.
The GfK NOP OmniTel Thanksgiving study was conducted among 1,000 adults ages 18 and up using telephone interviews November 4-6, 2005.
