ROCKLAND, ME, May 19, 2008. Historic Inns of Rockland, New England's first eco-friendly B&B organization, are dedicated to teaching guests to live and drive in harmony with Mother Nature. This summer, take advantage of Historic Inns of Rockland's signature "No Fueling" vacation for you and your car . All three inns are certified Maine Hospitality Leaders, and once again this feisty group of inns has taken eco-tourism to the next level. Starting with their signature drive-wise tips and park-and-walk locations, and ending with a new air filter, inflated tires for maximum efficiency and a free tire gauge, Historic Inns of Rockland will help guests save over 30-percent off the amount of gas consumed for the life of driving their car. Best of all, this signature tune up will help to save at least 20 pounds of carbon dioxide from being created with each gallon of gasoline not burned - no fueling! Partnering with Eastern Tire Inc of Rockland, Maine, a family owned and operated company dedicated to helping car owners drive green, Historic Inns of Rockland have developed a "fuel proof" alliance devoted to helping guests save on gas.

From now through October, book a three consecutive day midweek stay with any of the three Historic Inns of Rockland including Berry Manor Inn, Captain Lindsey House, or LimeRock Inn, and you will be treated to premier accommodations and hospitality while your vehicle receives the signature "No Fueling Around" tune up, completely free (over a $55 value). This customized tune up includes a free air filter change resulting in a 15-percent savings on gas, an air pressure check plus tire inflation and a free tire gauge to keep tires inflated resulting in an estimated 7-percent fuel savings. Additionally, a fuel injection cleaning service geared toward improving fuel efficiency will be offered by Eastern Tire at up to a 25-percent savings. Other services including oil changes and new tires will also be offered to the inns' guests for a 15% discount . To top it all off, Historic Inns of Rockland will send guests home with "Drive Green Not Mean" driving tips (see sidebar information below) and a reusable shopping bag to use instead of a suitcase on the next trip to Rockland. Simply ask for the "No Fueling" package upon booking, and allow two weeks advance notice for scheduling service.

Both the Historic Inns of Rockland and Eastern Tire are all walking distance to Rockland's Main Street, harbor, restaurants, museums and shops. Simply arrive, park the car and use foot power to explore all of Rockland's attractions. Eastern Tire offers free pick up and delivery service from the inns, so once guests arrive, the vacation begins for you and your car.

Some companies put gas in the tank; Historic Inns of Rockland and their partnership with Eastern Tire are dedicated to coaching guests on how to keep gas in the tank for the life of the car, with "fuel proof" maintenance and driving efficiency suggestions. Simply call 877-ROC-INNS (877-762-4667) or visit www.HistoricInnsofRockland.com to book your "No Fueling" package offered through October, 2008.
