Is It Cheaper to Drive or Fly?

Friday April 21, 2006
     If you're planning on traveling this Memorial Day or during the summer, deciding whether it is cheaper to drive or fly will be difficult. Gasoline prices are on the rise again and airlines most certainly will pass along fuel costs to passengers. AAA has created a Website that will help you budget for a road trip or compare driving costs against the price of an airline ticket. After selecting the starting city, your destination and vehicle information, the AAA Fuel Cost Calculator returns the number of driving miles, gallons of gasoline required and the estimated cost of both one-way and round trips. Very cool tool!
     Want to check out the cheapest gas? Both GasBuddy.com and GasPriceWatch.com depend on motorist to report gas prices, so you can find the cheapest gas in your neighborhood or wherever your travel takes you.
