High Gas Prices Reshape Summer Trips

Gas prices in Nevada have hit a record high this summer, averaging $5.14 per gallon and making it the fourth most expensive state for fuel. Families are cutting back, with nearly 70% opting for shorter trips and 47% considering carpooling with relatives to split costs. The trend isn’t unique to Nevada—California, Washington, Hawaii, and Alaska are also grappling with steep fuel bills due to taxes and supply logistics. Experts say driving slower (around 50 mph), keeping tires properly inflated and aligned, and planning smarter can help stretch your tank. Summer travel may cost more, but with creativity and a little patience, the open road is still worth exploring—just closer to home.
