Memorial Day Savings at the Pump in Coffee

This Memorial Day weekend many motorists may be wistfully remembering the days of $2 a gallon gasoline as prices at the pump may hit $4 average nationwide by the holiday.

The American Automobile Association (AAA) predicts that nearly 32 million drivers will hit the road for the long holiday weekend. However, RFA has some good news. Because ethanol is keeping gasoline prices about 15% lower than they otherwise might be, RFA says the gasoline price savings this weekend alone will amount to over $200 million – enough for 133 million cups of Starbucks coffee.
