How You Can Find the Best Gas Prices When Traveling

Post image for How You Can Find the Best Gas Prices When Traveling

I’m probably not the only one who dreads trips to the gas station.  While traveling locally can be hard enough on the wallet, long road trips have become exceedingly expensive.  While we’ve had pockets of relief in the U.S., the fuel prices continue to climb higher and higher.  Quick research reveals that the average U.S. gas price has increased roughly one-dollar per gallon over the last two years1. That means a road trip of 490 miles in an average family sedan getting 18 miles per gallon would cost roughly $ 216 today vs. $ 160 one year ago (round trip).

If you have children—or plan to in the future—this is probably a topic you’ve given a good deal of thought to. It’s a bit of a dilemma because although you as the parent are best qualified to take care of your own children, you still need some time away from your children, at least occasionally. Or maybe more frequently.

That makes the selection of a babysitter one of the most important decisions you can make regarding your children. Under the best of circumstances, you want someone caring for your children who you can trust, who will be available on a regular basis, and who won’t cost too much. How do you find a good babysitter?
