With gas prices breaking $4.00 per gallon in many areas, I thought it would be helpful to bloggers and blog readers alike to offer some assistance with finding the cheapest gas in your area. You can help drive the price of gas down buy not purchasing from gas stations/companies who are charging up to $0.30 more per gallon than the cheapest ones in or near your area. Below, I have found a cool little widget with data provided by Automotive.com. You can also check prices at GasBuddy.com. From what I can tell, the widget does not provide gas prices for places like Sam's Club or BJ's. However, you can find out the prices at such places through GasBuddy.com. One helpful hint with GasBuddy.com is to make sure that you select more than just your city after entering your zip code. Otherwise, you'll only see results in that city.
It would be very easy for me to make this a political issue. In fact, I may do that in a future post. Right now, I thought it would be more useful to simply provide you with a method of finding the cheapest gas in your area.
