Gas Prices for the Holidays




Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching, you'd think this would be the time for families to go away, but that's not the case this year. Why? Because of gasoline prices. With gas prices at $3.79 a gallon at most gas stations, it's making it hard for anyone to hit the roads. Here is a price list of the current average gas price list in major cities around the country:

Oakland, CA- $4.09
San Francisco, CA- $4.11
Phoenix, AR- $3.72
Memphis, TN- $3.79
Houston, TX- $3.80
Virginia Beach, VA- $3.80
Las Vegas, NV- $3.80
Little Rock, AR- $3.83
Dallas-Fort Worth, TX- $3.83
Corpus Christi, TX- $3.84
Tampa, FL- $3.88
Richmond, VA- $3.89
Baltimore, MD- $3.90
Greensboro, NC- $3.81
Atlanta, GA- $3.93
Philadelphia, PA- $3.96
Honolulu, HI- $3.98
Miami, FL- $4.00
Indianapolis, IN- $4.00
Seattle, WA- $4.04
Los Angeles, CA- $4.05
San Diego, CA- $4.07
Detroit, MI- $4.07
New York City, NY- $4.13
Chicago, IL- $4.35

So your best bet this weekend if you are traveling is to either 1) get a rental that covers free gas mileage, or 2) take the Mass transit in the area or 3) shut the hell up and fill up. The saddest strike of luck is if there isn't a mass transit that runs through town. Sad and shameful.
