May 24, 2011 - PRLog -- With gas prices averaging around four dollars a gallon, recent articles on gas saving road trips have referenced BnBFinder.com and there is no question why.  BnBFinder.com has been highlighting one tank trips and gas saving getaways since 2006 and currently offers hundreds of vacation ideas for the gas conscious.

“Listing thousands of inns, bed and breakfasts, and boutique hotels, gives us access to some amazing and unique vacation options,” says Mary White, Founder and CEO of BnBFinder.com and bed and breakfast guru.  “Compiling special packages, one tank trips, and gas free getaways was just a natural extension for our comprehensive listing site.”

The getaway ideas can be organized into three groups:

1. Staycations:

You don’t have to travel far, you're already there - your town can be the perfect vacation destination.  The travel costs will be negligible and you’ll end up learning a lot about the place you call home.  Use our advanced search feature (www.BnBFinder.com/advancedsearch) to find a special place in your hometown.  Every bed and breakfast is a unique experience, so staying at one definitely won’t be a cookie cutter vacation.  Leave your cares and worries at home and experience your area from a different perspective.  You'll be surprised by what the innkeepers know about the history and attractions in town, giving you the kind of concierge service usually associated with high-end hotels.

2. One Tank Trips:

Your next adventure could be closer than you think.  So close, in fact, that you can get there and back on less than one tank of gas.  Here are some examples from either coast, and our advanced search tool can be your guide in between:

If you live in Boston, MA, there are a plethora of summer getaways one tank away.  Just 18 miles away is picturesque Marblehead, MA - home of a wildlife sanctuary, beautiful beaches, and a light house.  Visitors to Marblehead can stay at A Lady Winette Cottage B&B (www.BnBFinder.com/LadyWinette).  With beautiful ocean and harbor views, a charming front porch, and an elegant garden, Lady Winette is a perfect New England inn.

One tank from San Francisco, CA, travelers can find Wine Country, beaches, and hiking.  Travel to Nice, CA and stay in one of nine themed railroad cabooses overlooking Clear Lake at the Featherbed Railroad Bed and Breakfast (www.BnBFinder.com/FeatherbedRR). Or go right across the bay and spend the night in an active Victorian light station.  The East Brother Light Station  
(www.BnBFinder.com/EastBrother) is reachable by ferry and features gourmet meals in an incredibly romantic setting.

3. Gas Free Getaways

Some places don’t need a car at all; some don’t even allow them.  Take a train or plane and leave your car behind.  Montreal and New York are two cities that have such good public transportation systems, cars are completely superfluous.  In Montreal, the metro stations themselves are attractions, each one designed by a different architect.  Just blocks away from “Station Sherbrooke,” stay at the Gingerbread Manor Bed & Breakfast (www.BnBFinder.com/GingerbreadManor). In New York, the subway runs all night and will take you to every site from Coney Island to Yankee Stadium. Near to six different trains at three different stations, stay at The Inn on 23rd (www.BnBFinder.com/Inn23rd).  

You won't miss you car on Monhegan Island, ME. The Island is home to a lighthouse, a museum, an artists’ community, a beach, a wilderness preserve, but no paved roads.  The fabulous Island Inn (www.BnBFinder.com/IslandInn) sits atop a bluff overlooking the harbor, offering panoramic views of the dramatic sunsets.

Visit www.BnBFinder.com/SaveGas and find inns offering special gas savings packages like 25% off to guests who don’t use their cars for the entire length of their stay and rebates for guests driving hybrids.  Don’t stay home due to high gas prices, let BnBFinder.com help you plan a gas savings getaway.
