Gas prices are nearing historically high levels here in Alabama, and experts say a gallon of gas might even reach as high as $4.60 a gallon this summer.
That means filling up your car carries a pretty hefty tab. The average vehicle’s gas tank is about 15 gallons, and with gas hovering around $4.13 per gallon here in the Rocket City, that means a typical “fill up” can cost around $65 or more.
So that got us thinking. What are some things to do or buy or experience around town that cost LESS than a tank of gas? We found some pretty cool stuff, actually—and that’s not counting all the cool stuff you can do for free, like a picnic at Big Spring Park, a stroll through one of Huntsville’s greenways, or even some free concerts in town.
