Vermont to give gas away to promote summer tourism
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - If you’re traveling in Vermont this summer, you might want to register for a gas-giveaway contest.
The state is giving away $100 gas cards each week in hopes of encouraging people to visit.
The summer promotion, dubbed “Vermont Fuels Your Vacation,” runs through Sept. 30. The cards are redeemable at participating gas stations.
Established in 2006, the promotion drew an average of 240 entries per week last summer. Several Vermont inns and lodging properties are also offering fuel-saving packages and gas card promotions in hopes of drumming up summer business.
