Bethel Inn offers gas rebate
The “gas-back” deal was bound to happen.
You’d better move fast if you want $2.99 gas for a visit to the Bethel Inn Resort. The Maine resort is giving vacationers who book with the resort for at least two nights between June 15 and Sept. to get 15 a break on gasoline prices. But the catch is that bookings must be made between June 13 and July 4.
Here’s the deal (sort of). When you check in, the staff calculates your round-trip mileage from any point within 300 miles and figures how many mpg your vehicle gets. The spread between $2.99 and the price you paid at last fill-up is credited to your account. That’s a good deal if you’re driving a Suburban, less so if you’re in a Prius. Say you average 25mpg, paid $3.99 for gas, and are coming from 300 miles away. That’s a credit of $24.
