Three bucks a gallon? Yikes!
When you drive up to the pump during holiday travel, don’t be surprised if you turn into a Grinch.
With the holidays around the corner, travelers this year may have to spend extra cash to fill up. Just yesterday, gas reached $3 per gallon across the Washington metro area, and people aren’t too happy.
“Never before have motorists been faced with the prospect of paying $3 for gas on Christmas Day and that possibility looms this year,” said John B. Townsend II, AAA Mid-Atlantic’s manager of public and government affairs. “This is an unusual occurrence, where things are inverted. Typically, after Labor Day and especially well into November and December, pump prices usually drop with the temperatures, as consumer demand reaches a low point for the year. Each time they pull up to the pump, consumers are feeling the impact of the exception to the rule.”
The increase in gas is a holiday downer, but there are some ways to save on gas.
