With summer here many of us are taking trips with our cars. If you are
looking for the lowest gas price while on your travels or even locally
you may want to think of having the GasBuddy app on your
smartphone. GasBuddy is a great app to help you find the lowest price in
your area. If you do not have a smartphone you can go to http://gasbuddy.com and
search before you hit the road. The prices are for areas in the US and
Canada and the various grades of gas. Prices are obtained from members
and you can see when the price was entered as well. By removing the
price data after 72 hours for each station, you are assured the prices
are current. The site is free, has about 5 million users and is
advertising supported.
Gas prices can widely vary in an immediate
area. I have used it on my trips and found it to be useful in finding
the lowest prices wherever I was. When we were in Maine last summer,
prices in a small area varied as much as $0.20 per gallon. The app also
gives directions to get to that gas station as well. Just make sure
that a passenger is doing the search for you or you have pulled over to
the side of the road if you are doing the search yourself.
So
give the site a try and/or add it as an app to your smartphone and start
saving. You may decide that you too wish to become a contributing
member and help yourself and others find the lowest priced gas in your
area.
