SKOKIE, Ill.-
What do most people argue about in the car during a road trip?
Where to sit and when to stop.
That's according to a survey of 4,000 people in all 50 states conducted for Rand McNally, the map publishing company.
The survey, commissioned to mark Rand McNally's 150th anniversary, found that "personal space/seating arrangements" was the No. 1 reason for a disagreement on a road trip, cited by 54 percent of those polled, while 27 percent said "when to stop for breaks" was the biggest cause of discord.
Ninety-six percent of those surveyed said they'd taken at least one road trip in their lifetime, and 76 percent of respondents still take road trips for their vacations now.
Two-thirds of the respondents said their top activities while in the car were looking at passing sights and playing games.
But if you're looking to improve your diet, a road trip probably will not help. Top results for "best food for the road" were potato chips, candy and cookies.
The survey was conducted online on the Rand McNally Web site and through e-ail from March to early May.
