NEW YORK - TelAve -- Ten beds and breakfast across the United States are banding together to encourage travelers to take a leap, fill their tanks, and see what it's like to stay at a B&B in a nod toward Leap Day.

Starting February 29^th this group of inns will pay $40 toward a tank of gas for each two-consecutive night, midweek, reservation (Monday through Thursday) through the month of March at the participating properties.

"Every four years we have that extra elusive 24-hours we all dream about," said Brenda Pearson, owner of the Turning Waters Bed, Breakfast and Adventure in Wabasha, Minnesota. We'd love for people to use that time toward a new adventure!"

The innkeepers at the various B&Bs are eager to meet more regional travelers – so much so, they're willing to pay to do it. The initiative affords travelers a chance to travel cross counties; even neighboring state lines.

If your vehicle gets 20-miles to the gallon, you could potentially drive about-260 miles on $40 worth of gasoline. And while how far you can travel with that will vary, if you drive an average of 60 miles per hour, you could have enough gas in your tank for about a 4-hour trip.

In addition to the free gasoline – most of the participating properties offer complimentary breakfast, complimentary parking, and in most cases – complimentary wireless internet access. All of the innkeepers know their areas incredibly well and are happy to serve as onsite area experts, directing you to the best restaurants frequented by locals, and off the beaten must-see destinations.

Start your engines. Below is a list of the ten participating properties – arranged alphabetically by state, then city:
