Gas Really Is Affordable Again!

After a long year for everyone's pocketbooks, there seems to be at least a glimmer of light through all of the craziness in the economy.....it's affordable to drive again.  While we still wish that the price at the pumps fell relative to the price of oil nearly as fast as they rose, we are rejoicing that it is finally possible to fill a normal gas tank for under $40.

We have been fortunate in Myrtle Beach for gas prices to be low relative to the national average throughout the crisis, and we are thrilled that South Carolina's gas prices are currently the 7th lowest in the nation.  We took a handful of snapshots of some fuel prices over the past couple of days and you see the lowest and highest prices that we found in our short drive.  The member clubs, Sam's Club and Costco not surprisingly came in lowest and well.....we won't name the highest culprit.

The best news through all of this for all of our friends who stay with us is that many of our special offers have reflected the state of the prices at the pumps and the economy at large, so in many cases even in spite of the rising gas prices, many folks have been able to spend less to get to Myrtle Beach and stay with us in 2008 for less than it cost in 2007.  And this is a great time to head to the beach with our room rates being at their most affordable point all year long.
