replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS A3 I live in Los Angeles so it’s expensive. Regular gas is $3.99/gallon! #TravelSkills

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS A3 It’s right around $4/gallon. I drive so little that it doesn’t impact me much. #TravelSkills

@travelskills A2: You can enjoy the view much better as a passenger than a driver.
And it makes it much easier to stay on the road.

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS TIP Use the website/app @GasBuddy to find the cheapest gas stations or bring your @Costco card and be prepared to wait in a long line #TravelSkills

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS TIP The cheapest gas in the country is in the Midwest and Texas. Check out this cool heatmap from @GasBuddy: https://t.co/fUXpFwjwRI #TravelSkills

A3: Depends on what sort of app-based discounts I’m getting, but it’s around $2.29 per gallon and no, doesn’t affect my driving habits at all #TravelSkills

A3 That knowledge would require me to drive more often. As it is I only drive out to my mom's once every few weeks, so a tank lasts a couple months. #travelskills https://t.co/sYxtDePrV9

A3. About $2.40 - I ride a motorbike so I get about 55mpg and can make that gallon last and last! 🏍 #travelskills

A2 I like to drive when there are no other cars on the road. I also don't enjoy being a passenger because I don't have any control, which is why I try to sleep in the car. #travelskills https://t.co/xOOPw3DMaK

A3: Gas is around $2.55/gal. when you have a Costco account - it’s almost always cheaper to fill up there! #TravelHack #TravelSkills #Roadtrip 🚗💨

@travelskills A3: I'm Canadian so it's $1.02 a liter. (We use that pesky Metric system.)
That price is relatively low (for now) so it makes driving more affordable.

A1: According to Life360’s driving data, people drive 50% farther than normal on Thanksgiving! We surveyed teens and parents to understand if they’re in the same lane when it comes to driving during the winter and the holiday season https://t.co/5UEsqMt9Mq #TravelSkills https://t.co/SRONxY46c9

I will quite often do road trips on my own so I have to drive. But even with friends. it gives me the option to stop and capture a photo or two when I see something beautiful. #travelskills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A2: Definitely a driver! I usually travel solo, so it's the only way to get somewhere, or not to get strange looks while I'm in the passenger seat alone. ;) #travelskills

A4. Haven't rented a car that often though we did rent a van in California that didn't have the best brakes, which wasn't good on Route 1. #TravelSkills
