Gasbuddy Is Yaye's Pal

Tipped off by Amanda Congdon at Rocketboom, I checked out Gasbuddy.com. It's soooo cool! Using a color-coded system, Gasbuddy offers the USA National Gas Temperature Map with red indicating the most expensive gas prices and dark green the cheapest. Interesting cost distribution - the coasts are clearly being hosed by the oil industry. On the homepage you can enter your zip code and retrieve a lowest to highest list of gas prices in your area. I did a local search and discovered that the lowest rate in my area is currently $2.95 at a station on my normal shopping route. This is good information!

How do they do it? "(Gasbuddy.com) is a network of more than 173+ gas price information web sites that helps you find low gasoline prices. All web sites are operated by GasBuddy and has the most comprehensive listings of gas prices anywhere."
