WASHINGTON, May 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Retirement Living TV (RLTV), the first
network dedicated to people 55+, announced today that it is revving up with

and Fred Grandy. Featuring AAA's Betsy Sell, managing director of travel, and
Troy Green, AAA manager of public relations, these travel experts will reveal

Soaring gas prices and a slowing economy this year make it more important
than ever for seniors to plan ahead. "We are happy to team up with RLTV to
provide seniors with lots of ideas about how to stretch their travel dollars.
People can save money at the pump by knowing their travel route in advance,
driving the speed limit, avoiding rush hour, not loading the roof rack,
inflating tires and getting a tune-up," said Mike Pina, director of public
relations at AAA.
