TUCSON, Ariz. — AAA Arizona experts are urging people to pack their patience at the gas pump or before they board their flight.
AAA Arizona's Aldo Vazquez said despite the high gas prices, people are still going to head out on their trips and plan to budget accordingly. For the 12 hour road trip from Tucson to San Antonio, he said it's important to check your car to make sure everything is running smoothly as well as plan out where you'll get the most cost effective gas on your route.
"People are still going to take those vacations and travel regardless of how high gas prices go," he said."If anything people are just going to budget the cost of gasoline and include the cost of gasoline in their summer plans and be more cautious about their spending." According to AAA, gas prices in Tucson are averaging about $4.48 per gallon and in San Antonio, prices are averaging $3.88 per gallon. Google Flights reports that flights from Tucson to San Antonio are ranging from $800 to $1,400.
