The Gift:
I will be giving away 2 free gas cards worth $50 each. I am funding this out of my own pocket and not supplied by any gas company. I know the economy sucks right now and it's the summer traveling season. To thank you for visiting my blog, I want to make that next visit to the gas pump a little bit easier. I know I said in the last couple of giveaways I was going to give away a book but I think free gas can be put to better use.

- One entry per person, duplicate entries will be disqualified. - Let's make this fair.
- Contest applies to U.S. residents only.
- I have the final say on the contest.
- I will use a random online number generator to pick the winner.
- You will have your choice of a Racetrac or BP gas card. If you win and don't have either store in your area, we can discuss other options.
- Be sure you leave your email address so I can contact you if you win.
How to Enter:
- The contest starts Thursday June 11, 2009 and will end on Tuesday June 30, 2009 @ 11:59pm EST. I will announce the winner in a post on Wednesday July 1, 2009.
- All you need to do to enter is leave a comment on this post. I want to know - if you win, what are you plans, if any, for summer travel?

If you are new or haven't done so already, please consider subscribing to SingleGuyMoney to be updated when there is a new post and to find out if you won!
We don't plant to travel much this summer, however, we own a boat so Gas is going to be a large expense for us this year. Count me in on the contest
Hey, enjoy your blog, not traveling this summer but could still use some free gas.
We plan on driving to st louis. So to say money we are staying with a friend. And we may go on a trip next winter to Arizona, to stay with a friend too. And, Idlewild park in PA for a day or two for my son. :-) I'm a fan of vacations, but we make it frugal.
I am being lame this summer - no travel planned at all. I am acdtually dog sitting for my traveling friends and relatives.
Thanks for having this! If I were to win, I'd use the gas card and with the money I "saved" I'd treat myself to a super nice lunch at one of the new places opening up around me.
I'm planning to keep my traveling local (and invite people to come visit me instead).
I will at least be driving 500 miles across Texas to go home for the 4th of July. Plus I will be doing some travelling to go to state parks, and nothing is close in Texas so I will be doing plenty of driving. The $50 giftcard would go a good way in filling up a tank of gas and support my driving of a nice big vehicle. (p.s. I work in the petroleum industry so the more people drive the better my job out look is! Keep on driving!)
I'm planning a couple of trips to our family friend's house on Cape Cod. Conveniently $50 would cover just about 2 trips!
Congrats on two years man! We're going to be visiting some friends in Europe this summer.
I love giveaway, I giveaway all the time on my website as well.
Summer plans = July -Travel to Atlantic City for a week.
August - Travel to 6 Flags Great Escape with some teenagers in the community.
I'm not planning on much travel this summer due to saving my money and vacation time for a trip this fall. I do anticipate several trips up to the beach though-- about an hour away.
gas prices aren't slowing our travel down this year, live in Jackson, MS and head to Tupelo for a family reunion swinging through the delta to pick up my Great Aunt so about 5 hours each way there, we try and take a trip to St. Louis every summer and see the Cardinals play, looking at early August between grad school semesters, and we will be flying to D.C. for a work/vacation where me and the wife are staying 2 extra days for site seeing so my job pays for my plane ticket and 4 of the 6 nights but her ticket and the other nights are on us. The joys and curses of working full-time and going to grad school at night will make it a busy next 10 weeks for the BSquared family.
I am getting married in August, and for the honeymoon we will be driving from Long Island to Bar Harbor in Maine, then back to Long Island before finally returning to our home in PA. That's about 1200 miles in all. If I get the gas card I will use the money saved to take my soon-to-be-wife on the Dine-in Theater Boat Cruise with Diver Ed, which she really wants to go on :)
I plan on traveling by car for two weekend mini vacations visiting family and friends this year.
Yay for FREE gas cards! :)
My summer travel plans...FL to meet up with all of my husband's family! FUN!
Nope, I don't plan on going anywhere this summer. I have tons to do in my new house, and any vacation will probably be spent painting or ripping out the built-in desk or weeding the overgrown garden.
This summer I am traveling back to the midwest for my sister's wedding. I am also keeping my fingers crossed that I will be accepted to a conference in D.C. I really need a vacation, but I don't know if I'll have the time (or money) to make it happen.
Now that's a great prize in these times. I just tweeted this for an extra chance. We don't have any plans for traveling this summer. There's just not enough money coming in for frivolous expenses.
Nothing concrete for traveling, but am considering going to Myrtle Beach in August.
Me and the girlfriend are planning a trip to either Canada or Chicago...depending on a few things. Opposite ends of the spectrum somewhat, but exciting nonetheless.
If you define travel as more then an hour away I travel into the city to spend time with friends quite often. Otherwise, a girlfriend of mine in Hawaii wants me to come visit. All I would need is the plane ticket...
Happy Blogoversary! We are going to my nephew's wedding and planning a few day trips.
I am headed to Spain this summer!
Considering my wife is 8 months pregnant, we're not going anywhere except to Target to buy diapers...
No road trips for me this summer...Keep up the good work on your blog.
going to indiana to do some strawberry picking!!! and possibly michigan for some blueberry picking!!
hi! thank you for the free give away!! my family and I are going to Italy in a week! we are driving about 2 hours to get to the international airport and the gas card sure would help with that cost! thanks!
I plan on going to Napa Valley which is just 1.5 hours from here. This would help a lot. Thanks. :)
I plan to take a trip with an old friend to Orlando, FL. And, even though I can't drive there, I'm planning a trip to Greece in late summer. None-the-less, a gas card for Florida would be GREAT. ;)
Great blog by the way. Keep up the good work!
My girlfriend and I plan to drive from NYC to Maine. Wit various stops in between.

We would like to take a road trip this summer to Chicago. Our newly adopted dog absolutely LOVES riding in the car, and this will be his first official vacation with the family!
Please enter me into your gas card giveaway. We have a trip planned for Labor Day weekend, so we could sure use the card!
Congrats on your 2 years blogaversary!

My husband and I will be traveling to visit with my family and our friends in southern California for the 4th of July weekend. Then, for our 3 year anniversary in September, we will be taking a 7 night Mexican Riviera cruise. (And we will not be going into debt for it, either, yay!)
We live in Southern California and we were planning on driving to Utah for some Eco-camping but with gas at 3.21 here we are starting to shy from the idea. I figure it will hit $3.89 or so. When we started planning it was 1.74 so at more than double it puts our goal cost of the trip out of reach.
I have 2 short weekend beach trips planned and a trip to Greece/Italy in the fall, so although the gas card won't help me out too much for that trip it'll help me save money!
This would be a great budget stretcher, Thanks for an awesome giveaway!

What a generous idea! Thank you for the contest. Nothing serious planned for the summer, but we will be spending a week at our timeshare in Seaside on the Oregon Coast in September. Then off to a Caribbean cruise in November.
The gas card? If I win, it will become a gift to the Oregon Food Bank to help their delivery volunteers with their work to supply food baskets to those in need.
Thanks again,
Dave
We're going to be making a few trips up to Wisconsin to see my 7 month old twins' grandparents, and my wife and her mom are actually IN New Mexico (from Chicago) with the boys right now. So, honestly, we'd use the card for our day-to-day driving... 'cause they're already on the biggest gas-guzzling trip of the summer!
Great timing for gas card. We are going to many things this summer.
1. Grandson b-day July 4.
2. His brother b-day in August.
3. Visit brother at Myrtle Beach.
We live in PA and this would help alot driving a Ford-250 to each visit.
Dee from PA
I don't have any vacation plans this year due to finances, but should I be lucky enough to win, I would seriously consider taking my two Grandsons to a water park about 3-1/2 hours away. Thanks for the chance to win.

We plan on going camping within our own state twice this summer, so the gas card would be great to help pull our pop-up. Great giveaway...congrats on 2 years!
I plan to travel out of state if am contacted for job interviews. Gas will be costly as I plan to travel only by car.
Not much travel planned this summer just a few trips in state to visit friends and family.
Since I'm staying put this summer I'm house sitting for some relatives to make some extra dough! That's a plus!
Going to the FL panhandle for an extended weekend at the beach.
I plan to drive to Colorado (from California) to visit my 18 year old daughter and her 19 year old husband, who returns from Iraq any day now.
Kids! You just never know what they will decide to do.
Would love to win a gas card!
This is one generous contest. Summer travel will be limited this year, can you say STAYCATION? My commute to work is a killer, though!
I won't be traveling at all this summer. At least not too far. My job limits my free time so I don't get too much time to go anywhere.
I am going home to NY for an extended weekend and we are going to Seattle for a week in a month.
http://twitter.com/misaacmom/status/2165555444 tweet!
Thanks for the great giveaway! Please enter me! If I were to win one of the gas cards I would drive EVERY day on vacation to the lake (that's about an hour away) to go kayaking!
CONGRATS! 2 years is amazing, good for you bro.
I'll be hitting up the beaches this summer - Jersey Shore & Rehobeth. Gotta love that sand and sun!
We can't travel during the summer since we farm but I can think of a few fall trips to the zoo and museums that would be fun for us.
We plan to travel up to Chicago this summer (about a 9 hour drive from Nashville) sometime after July 4th weekend. Also a short weekend trip planned to Memphis at the end of the month, the gas card would sure help out with gas expenses!
StellaKY
I will have a STAY-cation and going to Disneyland. Thats whats great about living in Southern California!
my travel plans for the Summer are traveling back and forth between NC and VA to see my family (which I do every couple of weeks so I could DEFINITELY use a gas card)
throuthehaze at gmail dot com
Awesome giveaway. We're heading accross state to visit family for the fourth of july.
My summer travel plans include spending a week on the beach in Florida with about 6 high school kids from my church and about 500 high school kids from other churches. This is my big vacation for the summer. I know a lot of people cringe (or run and hide) at the idea of spending a week with a bunch of high school kids, I couldn't be happier about the trip with "my kids".
My other trip this summer is a week long mission trip to Reynosa, Mexico. We will be working with an organization which ministers to the deaf community in Reynosa, runs a school, holds English camps and VBS in the summer for all the kinds in the neighborhood and works with the local government to build things needed in the community. This summer I believe we'll be working on doubling the size of the school, starting to build the office and dorm facilities for the ministry (so that they no longer have to rent space in a building) and finishing up some projects left over from last summer.
Should be another great trip.
Thanks for the chance to win

I plan on driving to Washington DC to take my Girlfriends son to see the Marine Corps Memorial and Arlington. He is joining the Marines this fall.
BTW, this is a very motivating blog you have. I bookmarked it.
This summer we're hosting some friends from England. So, even in 100 degree temps, we'll be playing tourists in our own home town!
Thanks for the shot!

We are planning to drive to Virginia Beach (from Wisconsin) for a road trip/honeymoon!
I am planning a few trips "up north" in Michigan. The gas card would certainly help with those. :)
We have plans of traveling to Southport, NC at least three times (to visit friends and take some family to visit them and enjoy the beach....free lodging). We also have plans in August to drive to the Smokey Mountains with my in-laws (that'll be interesting). Some free gas would sure make that a more enjoyable trip. :)
Congrats on 2 years!
We plan to drive and meetup some old friends and relatives.
I plan on driving to the Austin area sometime soon.
i like gas
just came back from a vacation. maybe take a 6 hr short trip to houston. love your website and am a frugal spender myself.
Congratulations on the 2-year anniversary! I don't plan on going anywhere this summer - probably will just take some time off for a "staycation" and support the local economy. But if I won some free gas, that could change . . .
Thanks for funding the contest!!
We are headed to NC for a 2 week visit with family and friends.
Thanks for the great giveaway.

I am currently unemployed and I will use the gas card to keep paying the bills!
My wife and I would use it to drive to see her parents. We haven't seen them in a while and it would really help offset the cost of the trip.
I plan on going to Disney World for the first time!
well I don't plan on much for "fun" travel. I MIGHT if I have a little extra gas money though! ;)
Hey, love your blog! I'd love to win a gas card! We just got married and one of our gifts was a week at a beach house in Santa Barbara, so a gas card to help us get there and keep the trip affordable would be much appreciated!
I would travel to Florida (from Texas) with my girlfriend for some needed R&R.
I will be planning a long week or two in the Florida Keys. I am in the process of selling my PWC and plan on using some of the money to have a nice summer vacation... haven't had a vacation for the last three years, I'm due.
No traveling this summer- life is just too expensive right now!
no plans to travel-cant afford it right now-but it would definately come in handy to win- i am not working, and my husband and i -like most others are struggling right now- this would be a huge help.

we are planning a weekend trip to the wisconcin dells next month. I can't wait for our little getaway!

we're driving to pa to visit the in-laws in july and then driving to the beach in august
Traveled by plane to visit family, we are not planning a driving vacation this year, just staying close to home!
sajdakota@yahoo.com
This would really help out for vacation this summer! Thanks for a great giveaway!
ms0812@zoominternet.net
Going to Germany for my husbands 25th year class reunion. Gas card won't help with that directly but indirectly would be awesome!
Currently I don't have any travel plans.
I might go to Disneyland toward the end of summer when it is not too hot and humid.
I only plan on traveling home once or twice. I'm a college student and I'm spending the summer in my college town to take classes but free gas would make the drive home that much more enjoyable!
My traveling will mainly consist of driving home to visit my folks and friends back home. Maybe even a lil fishing. And the gas is NOT cheap!
Free gas giveaways are the best! Especially in these tough economic times. Thank you for supplying such a useful giveaway. Next time you need gift cards check out www.giftcardrescue.com They have discounted gift cards, they buy gift cards, and exchange gift cards. Such a nifty site!
wow this is great ! We are planning to go to Portland one weekend before my due date. Hope I win, so we could at least save money on gas !
Count me in !
We already went to Bonnaroo so most of our money is gone. We'll probably drive to my in-laws to take the kids to visit grandma and grandpa. About a 350 mile drive, not too far but far enough when you're doing it with a 4 and 8 year old.
Hey, I want to win :)
I'm losing my job at the end of July; so I'm taking August off (probably would be forced to do so anyway!) and my family and I are going up to Oregon to the Shakespeare Festival in Ashland and then we'll continue north to Portland and all points in between.
We're driving the 7 hours from DC to NY for a mini-family reunion. I'll be the only one without a new baby. Joy.
I would use the money to drive to the Washington coast this summer.
Thanks for this contest and congrats on 2 years! I just started my job as a teacher in January, so I am enjoying a free summer and taking some small day and overnight trips to see some fun things without huge prices.
I would use the money to visit college friends across New York.

I will use the gas card on Labor Day weekend when we will be traveling to Maine for my MIL's 75th birthday!

Congrats on having your blog running for 2 years, that's great! I'm working hard on hiking the North Country National Scenic Trail, and need to do a lot of driving to get to sections I need to complete. A friend and I will finish all of Minnesota in July and August. myqualityday.blogspot.com
Love your blog. I'll be headed to New Hampshire (from New York) in August for blueberry-picking season. $50 in gas might get me there (though not back!).
Hey SGM,
Congrats on 2 years and I wish you another 20 years!!I think it is great that you are doing this for your readers.
We are taking the children to Wisconsin Dells in August, cannot wait!!
Happy Blogiversary.... what a generous way to celebrate!
We don't plan to travel this summer but we're planning a trip to New Orleans in October.
~A Lil Enchanted~
Being self emplyoyed, I am constantly traveling for my work as a photographer. Easing the sting at the gas pump a little would go a long way.
Hi and congratulations on 2 years of helping others save the bucks!
I would love to take a day trip to Virginia Beach or just save the money if gas spikes again.
Good luck everyone!
greenwithhappiness@yahoo dot ie
I'll probably just visit relatives.
