This Summer’s Gas Prices Predicted To Be At Their Lowest In Six Years

As if there wasn’t enough to celebrate with the impending arrival of summer, road trip vacations will be even better this year with gasoline predicted to be at its cheapest in at least six years. Perfect for when you finally decide to drive across the country to visit that giant ball of [insert weird thing to make a giant ball out of] in [state far away from where you live].

Prices have been up a bit recently but gas prices will be moderate this summer and hover around $1 cheaper a gallon than last year, reports USA Today (warning: link has video that autoplays).

“This is cheapest driving season since the summer of 2009,” said Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis for the Oil Price Information Service.

The national average gas price went up $0.20 in a month to $2.69 a gallon for regular after a hike in crude oil prices and issues at West Coast refineries, according to the Energy Department.

A little off the subject , but , if you want the best burger in the area , go to Boonies.
We went there last Saturday , I couldn't believe it , the menu has changed , by far the very best burger on the eastern shore.
It's 20 miles from Salisbury , but , it's worth the drive.
Package store and fishing tackle with live bait.
A refreshing country atmosphere with good people.
You don't have to hold your pinky up when drinking.
