Garder Featured in WalletHub Study on Best, Worst States for Summer Road Trips
Per Garder, a civil engineering professor at the University of Maine, was featured in the “Ask the Experts” section of WalletHub’s recent study about 2015’s best and worst states for summer road trips. Garder said he thinks more people will take road trips this summer than in previous years because gas is still relatively cheap and the economy is slowly turning around. For those taking road trips, he suggests using the GasBuddy app to find cheap gas; using Internet or coupon books to find low-cost, high-quality hotels; and eating local at small restaurants for some meals while supplementing with food from grocery stores.
