Are high gas prices making you reevaluate your summer road trip? We are paying more than $3 a gallon around here, but judging by the number of SUVs (weighed down with jammed packed bike and luggage racks) I saw lined up at out local Shell station on Sunday I doubt many people are calling off their vacations and opting to stay home. Perhaps those travelers were taking advantage of one of the many gas promotions being offered by hotels nationwide. Several companies are trying to make road trips a bit more affordable by footing the bill for your gas.
Take a look:
Free $50 Gas Card in Vermont
Don’t let the pain at the pump keep you from relaxing in New England this summer.
