Gas Buddy

If you're like me, you'll save every penny you can when you can. One place I try to save as much as possible is at the pump.

Have you ever wondered where the cheapest gas in town is? Or, been out traveling and are wondering which exit ahead you should stop at to fill up? Maybe it's just me but I can be the gas price fanatic (or "freak" as my wife so eloquently put it).

As gas prices remain high and unpredictable, I fight for every cent I can, though I probably wouldn't change my ways even if prices dropped. So for you fellow fanatics out there I have the perfect solution: the Gas Buddy app.

The Gas Buddy app is for smart phones (I use an android, though I'm sure it's available for iPhone too). The basic idea behind the app is that users will submit gas prices to local gas stations they have visited, so anyone else in the area can see what prices are at that station. The information is provided by other gas price obsessors so that you can get the best deal possible, and prices stay up to date.

So there yah have it. Check out gasbuddy.com for more (including the ability to check prices without a smartphone), and start gas stalking today!
