SOME WAYS TO SAVE GAS THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND?

GasBuddy has tips;
•Mind the line. State lines can bring significant changes in gasoline taxes, and motorists should be vigilant during their road trip as picking the right side of the line can result in savings or additional spending of 25 cents to $2 per gallon.
•Take advantage of loyalty programs. Many gas stations offer bonus savings or introductory offers that can save you up to 25 cents per gallon.
•Consider how you pay.
If you prefer cash, more stations are offering cash discounts this summer.
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy says "it looks like it’ll be a busy start to the summer driving season, and while Americans gripe about the cost of gasoline, it doesn’t seem that too many are going to be deterred from hitting the road."

HOW ABOUT A NICE DRIVE THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS?

A press release says State Route 410/Chinook Pass and SR 123/Cayuse Pass through Mount Rainier National Park are open for the season, right in time for Memorial Day weekend.
Park visitors can travel SR 410/Chinook Pass between Crystal Mountain Boulevard, about 12 miles northwest of the summit, and Morse Creek, five miles east of the summit. SR 123/Cayuse Pass is open within the park boundaries between Stevens Canyon Road and the SR 410 junction.
