Congratulations to Jessica who won $100 in gas from Grass Creek Construction! And thanks to everyone who submitted song ideas.

This coming Friday John & Dave will give away $100 in gas on Star 98 thanks to the good folks at Grass Creek Construction. We will give it away by a drawing and you enter by helping us build the Ultimate Road Trip Playlist.

To Be Eligible to Win We Need Two Songs

We want to know what song has to be there when you take a road trip and what song should never be on any playlist, much less play while you are driving. Text those two songs to 435-429-1075.

You will be entered into the drawing for $100 in gas from Grass Creek Construction. John & Dave will discuss song entries during the morning show Friday and then draw for the prize around 8:50 AM.

Here's What Makes a Good Song for a Road Trip

When picking a road trip song, it helps to have certain qualities. It needs to be easy to sing along to. This keeps your mind engaged and makes for a fun atmosphere. It also helps to have a good tempo, nothing too sleepy for the driver's sake.

Nostalgic songs are always strong candidates. Music is tied to memories and a tune that brings back some fond moments from the past are great. Also, songs about the open road and freedom work well.

As for the song that should never be on a road trip playlist, super repetitive songs can be mind numbing. This holds true for new songs you don't know. So, text your entries in for a chance to win.

Thanks to Grass Creek Construction who makes all this possible. You can listen to Star 98 at 98.1 and 98.5 on the FM Dial. You can also listen on the Star 98 App.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
