In the midst of this economic downturn, many people are traveling by cars in an effort to offset travel related expenses, but those savings are slowly becoming a thing of the past, as gas prices are steadily rising. According to the AP, the national average for gas is up to $2.67 a gallon of unleaded gas, a 16% increase. In California, prices are at a whopping $3.00 per gallon!
If this trend continues, what will prices be like at the once summer official begins and during the 4th of July weekend, when road trips are plenty?? This thought is mind-boggling. What we are now seeing in California, could become a national trend. This is just convincing me even more to have plenty more "staycations" this summer!
