Gas prices are on the rise in State College. After holding for about a week at $3.95, a gallon of petrol will set you back $4.05 per gallon. How will that affect your summer travel plans? I think it means that the Sublett family will have to rethink how we spend our vacation.
Almost every summer we try to get back down south to see my side of the family. My parents live in western NC/SC (the state line runs really close to them) and my brother’s family is in Durham, NC. That’s more than 600 miles from home. At 20 miles per gallon, that works out to $243 in gasoline.
I don’t know if we can pull it off this summer. Our gasoline budget is taking a beating. We may have to start donating plasma to afford gas…
If you do plan to travel, Dumb Little Man has a great post on 7 websites you must check before you go on a vacation.
