How To Use The Web To Save On Gas Prices

Want yet another reason to get savvy about the Web? It just might help you save money on gasoline! That's right, in recent years web sites have sprung up that will help you find the best gas prices in your area. These so called gas price tracking web sites typically rely on volunteers to report prices in their local area. These prices are then compiled and stored in a database that you can access by inputting your local zip code or city and state.

Here are a couple of gas price tracking sites you'll want to check out:

  • GasBuddy.com - A directory of over 179 gas price tracking sites they claim, "the most comprehensive listing of gas prices anywhere."
  • Gas Prices - MSN Autos - This gas price comparison site from MSN uses data from credit card transactions and surveys to provide gas price information from over 90,000 stations from across the country.
  • GasPriceWatch.com - This site relies on over 123,000 volunteers from across the country to bring you up to date information on the best gas prices.

Before you drive all over the place looking for the best price on gas, test drive one of these sites. You just might save on that next fill up!
