Fuel Rebates for Budget Travelers
Bed-and-Breakfast Savings

By Mark Kahler, About.com

The "Tanks a Lot Bed and Breakfast Promotion" through Bedandbreakfast.com links you with Dozens of inns across North America that will provide gas relief of the financial kind. Each offer is different, and there is a wide range of dollar discounts. Watch for minimum stays, expiration dates and other requirements.

Here are a few examples, from east to west:

Inn at Ellis River, Jackson, N.H.
Here they'll roll out the roadmap and the calculator. They'll figure the distance from anywhere in New England and base your gas refund on New Hampshire's current prevailing price for regular (at 25 miles per gallon) for a maximum of $75. The offer stands through the end of July.

The Victorian Ladies, Newport, R.I.
When you stay two weeknights Sunday-Thursday, receive $35 off total costs. The discount doubles to $70 if you stay three weeknights, and the offers are good through September.

Mountain Laurel Inn, Mentone, Ala.
Spend two nights or more and Mountain Laurel Inn will deduct $25 from your room rate to offset high gas prices. The offer is good through the end of September. They'll also offer a popular hiking package at half-price.

Carambola Inn, Fuquay-Varina, N.C.
