Finding the Cheapest Gas: Just Became A Member With Gasbuddy.com

This is an excellent site for people who want to know the cheapest price of gas in their area or along whatever route they are planning to drive.

I have been using Gasbuddy.com for about a year now and enjoy its mapping feature. On my recent trip from Louisiana to Washington, I routinely saved 10-20 cents per gallon by finding several gas stations along my route that offered significantly lower gas prices.

I became a member tonight (now able to report on gas prices) because I feel it's important to identify and promote local gas stations that offer the best price on gas. I feel that if more people frequent the cheaper gas stations, then the higher priced stations would be more pressured to lower their prices to get business traffic.

The added perk of being a Gasbuddy.com member is that you become eligible for contest entries on their site. As an example, Gasbuddy.com has a gas card contest running through 1 September where people can win one of four $250 gas cards.
