Despite the declining costs, fewer Southern Californians will be hitting the roads this Labor Day weekend, opting instead to lounge in their inflatable backyard pools or flip burgers on the grill.

This weekend, holiday travel -- which includes driving and flying -- is expected to be 1.4 percent lower than last year, when the number of Labor Day vacationers rose 1 percent, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California.
