Times are tough and the recession is really starting to bite but how far would you go to get some free fuel for your Sanford car hire? I’d wager not quite as far as Orlando resident David Partin.

In exchange for a $100 petrol voucher, Partin agreed to name his son (due to be born in December) after 2 local radio hosts. Partin must produce a birth certificate in order to collect his winnings. The name of the baby – Dixon Willoughby Partin. I think this kid is going to have some tough questions for daddy when he is older.

As the cost of fuel continues to affect the lives of Americans around the country many organizations are doing their best to come up with fuel saving competitions.

The American Red Cross is holing a raffle where donors could win up to a year’s supply of petrol. A small parish in Massachusetts is running drawing competitions at weekly masses with $50 fuel vouchers on offer for the winner.

Many people flying into Sanford from the UK have been planning their trip for a long time. The “trip of a lifetime” in some cases!

Itineraries have been meticulously worked out down to the finest details. All the must see places have been ticked off with a certain amount of time allotted to each. With the current economic crisis gripping the world, you may be starting to worry about the cost of getting around.

Petrol costs are continuing to rise which may affect visitors who are on a strict budget. It would be heartbreaking to have to leave places off your list because of this.

Here are a few options which will help you cut petrol costs

• Shop around for the best value station to fill your hire car. A good option to consider is Sam’s and BJ’s Wholesale Club. This budget operator offers considerable savings for petrol costs.

• A website well worth checking out is Gas Buddy. This website covers many locations throughout the US and offers up to date information on petrol prices. Use this website to find the cheapest petrol for your Sanford car hire.

• An obvious one maybe but make sure your tyres are fully inflated. You will find instruction in your glove box about the correct pressure level.

• Be wary of carrying too much luggage in or on top of your car hire. Heavy items on a roof rack could considerably increase your petrol costs.
