Gas Prices: How to Get a Break
A Hearty Breakfast: Photo by Roger KirbyAs the summer travel season gets under way, U.S. gas prices are continuing to rise, averaging around $4 for regular fuel. And in some states, prices are much higher.
To help ease some of the pain at the pump, many bed and breakfasts are participating in a promotion called “Tanks a Lot,” where guests receive cash back, a discount on their bill or a gas card to fill up their tanks.
For a complete list of all B&Bs participating in the promotion, visit
BedandBreakfast.com, and be sure to mention the Tanks A Lot promotion when booking your stay.
and, before you hit the road, be sure to find the lowest gas prices near your home -- and at your destination -- with websites that tell you where to find the cheapest gas. Visit GasBuddy.com and enter your zip code to find the best deals at the pump.
AAA offers a site -- fuelcostcalculator.com -- that estimates your gas
expenditure. Select your starting point, destination city and vehicle make,
model, and year, and find out how much you'll have to shell out for fuel.
