Missouri = Lowest Gas Prices in Nation!

Do soaring gas prices have you considering parking your cars and dusting off your bicycles & rollerblades?  Desperate times call for desperate measures!

As I researched the national average for a gallon of gasoline, I stumbled upon the most recent survey conducted by AAA.  According to the June 2008 survey, Missouri has the LOWEST price for gasoline compared to all other states in the US!  How exciting!  Missouri is actually recognized for a good thing!!

However, at even the cheapest gasoline average in the nation, $3.80 isn't exactly cheap.  To help remedy the high cost of gas, the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) has joined with Metro St. Louis in order to celebrate National Dump the Pump Day.  Dump the Pump Day is designed to encourage people to get out of their cars and walk, bike or use public transportation to conserve fuel and reduce the environmental impact of everyday commuting. 

As an incentive for St. Louis area commuters to get out of their vehicles and try public transit, Metro is offering a FREE one-day pass for Dump the Pump Day.  The free pass is valid for Thursday, June 19th only, and allows commuters to try MetroBus and MetroLink for the entire day.

I have received my free one-day pass and I am pumped about using the MetroLink on Thursday in order to transport me from Concordia Seminary's campus to Busch Stadium for the I-70 Series (St. Louis Cardinals vs. Kansas City Royals) game!!!
