 Finding cheap gas prices is no longer only for the frugal-minded among us, it is now becoming a necessity for everyone. It seems like prices have gone up $0.10 to $0.15 per week for the last few weeks.  The more you drive, the more you spend on gas, and the more important it is to find the lowest price possible. Even though I travel the same route to work everyday, I often find myself driving around town, and of course, I notice when a certain gas station has lower gasoline prices than others, and of course, I always seem to see a lower price right after I fill up! With prices changing so frequently, it is hard to find the station that is the lowest. Some change their prices at different times of the day, and even though you may go to a station that is usually the lowest, it may not be the lowest the time you go there. Even a difference of a few cents per gallon can add up of a period of time. I have used one of these websites in the past,  Gasbuddy, to look up prices, but the other,  Mapquest Gas Prices,  is new to me.

 Gasbuddy: Allows you to search by city, state, or zip and brings up list of the cheapest prices in your area. Gasbuddy also gives you an overview of historical prices, trends, and includes Canada as well.

Mapquest Gas Prices: Allows you to type in an address, intersection, or zip-code, and pull up the gas stations with the lowest prices in that area, all on the same map. Additional features include a gas price calculator, browsing by city and state, and alternative fuels such a E85 and bio-diesel. The map feature on mapquest is great, and it seems as though it would be very useful when travelling or on a trip.

While I like being able to see multiple stations on Mapquest Gas Prices, both sites are quite useful for finding cheap gasoline in your area or on the road.
