Gas prices drop every day of holiday period

02.06.10

SIOUX CITY -- In what may have been a first in history, gas prices in Sioux City went down each day of the Memorial Day weekend.

From $2.35 on Friday to $2.31 on Saturday to $2.29 Sunday and then to $2.27 late Monday, down, down, down went the price of self-serve regular unleaded gasoline in the city.

In fact, the city price has dropped considerably since hitting a 19-month high of $2.75 on May 4, meaning the cost to fill an empty 15-gallon tank has decreased by $7.

The Memorial weekend price decrease runs counter to what typically is seen in the busiest holiday travel periods, which include Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day, as prices often rise just before people head away on trips.

The Associated Press on Tuesday reported national gas prices fell for a 26th straight day as lower oil prices have been experienced. Crude oil was selling for about $74 per barrel Tuesday, compared to $87 in the first week of May.

Tom Kloza of the Oil Price Information Service said while the daily streak of lower prices is likely to end before mid-June, prices still have another 10 or 12 cents to fall.

Plan Today For Fall Travel

After a late start due to a cool spring, you took off the cover to your swimming pool a month ago and finally got full use of it over the Independence Day weekend. Cool water, refreshing sunshine and a more languid lifestyle has you enjoying the best of what the summer season offers. Enjoy it while it is here, because in two months time you’ll be closing up the pool, purchasing mums and pumpkins, and getting ready for cooler weather.

With this in mind, you’ll want to make your fall travel arrangements now instead of waiting until Labor Day or later. Nature lovers who enjoy the leaves when they change to red, brown, gold and yellow, know that the best places to visit to take it all in are those places over run with tourists. However, if you don’t book early, then you may miss out on prized lodging and be forced to settle for a run down room on the outskirts of town or even up staying at home.

Call Now – Many of the more popular inns across New England are booked solid throughout the leaf changing season. Operators of these resorts make their most money during a brief period in the fall with some making money during the winter months too if they are conveniently located near ski areas. Even if the inn you like is generally booked up for several years in advance, they may have an opening on one or two weekday nights. If you’re flexible, then you stand a chance of securing a highly desirable room where all of the action is taking place.

Consider A Tour – Most leaf lovers prefer the solitude of a quiet inn with a relaxed way of visiting and enjoying the landscape. However, if you can’t find a place to stay on your own, consider joining a tour group who will whisk you around by bus and one who has already blocked off dozens of rooms at a local hotel. Be warned that this option can be quite expensive, but if you’ve tried and failed to secure a room on your own and money is no object, then this option could suit you.
