If you're starting your first year of college, here's some exciting news for you when it comes to your car.

Advance Auto Parts is offering ten lucky incoming freshmen the opportunity to win a "Fuel Ride to College," which entails four years of free gasoline for their vehicle.

FOX 26 Houston is now on the FOX LOCAL app available through Apple TV, Amazon FireTV, Roku and Google Android TV!

This initiative aims to alleviate some of the financial burden that college students face, with 67% of them agreeing that paying for gas is a major strain on their finances, as revealed in a recent national survey conducted by Atomik Research.

College life can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to managing expenses. Tuition, textbooks, and living costs can quickly add up, leaving little room in the budget for additional expenses like fuel.

Heat wave impacts gas prices

Feeling the pain at the pump? You're not the only one! Rising oil costs and heat-induced refinery cuts have driven gas prices to their highest levels in nine months. FOX's Jonathan Serrie runs down the numbers.

Recognizing this challenge, Advance Auto Parts is stepping in to lend a helping hand to deserving students.
