Massachusetts Website Offers Help with Gas Prices

by Chandra on June 14th, 2008

At times like the present, with gas prices reaching astronomical levels, I’m very thankful I don’t drive. Unlike me, however, there are millions of people across the United States growing increasingly frustrated over the rising cost of fueling their vehicles with required gasoline.

Governor Deval Patrick and his administration apparently feel constituents’ pain, and in response, they’ve established a new website specifically geared towards helping drivers in Massachusetts cope with soaring gas prices.

Titled Gas Tips, the website currently has six sections with links to timely information on:

• Searching local gas prices to find the best bargain
• Maximizing the amount of gas purchased and increasing the mileage of vehicles
• Alternatives to driving, such as using public transportation, biking, carpooling, and sharing rides through programs like MassRIDES
• Saving money on vacations by visiting destinations within the state

Whether you live in Massachusetts or just plan to drop by in the near future, the new Gas Tips website is a useful tool for those who want money-saving tips and alternatives on the road.
