27K fewer road trips from eastern Ontario to New York State in October, statistics show

The survey, commissioned by Jiffy Lube, found that almost half of 2,000 U.S. drivers plan holiday road trips, according to data collected on Oct. 13, 2025.
Motivations include family time, with 71% saying it brings them joy, while many cite cost and comfort—57% and 50%—as reasons to drive this year, according to Talker Research.
Survey details show nearly one in three U.S. drivers had holiday trips derailed by car trouble, 72% exceeded oil-change mileage, yet 62% get cars serviced ahead for peace of mind.
High-Mileage choices mean the average respondent would drive 172 miles out of their way, increasing demand on Jiffy Lube services, with 5% driving 700 miles or more.
On methodology, Talker Research notes the survey used opt-in online panels and programmatic sources, excluded interviews failing quality checks, and reports cells with minimum of 80 respondents at 95% significance.
