As a follow up to 25 Ways to Save Money on Gas, I though I'd share some additional online resources to help you find the lowest gas prices. So in addition to Gas Buddy and GasNearU, both of which I mentioned in the saving money on gas article, here are a few more worth checking out:
- Gas Price Watch: GPW does not have the slickest user interface, but it does seem to find the lowest prices on gas, which is what we're looking for.
- Gas Prices on Mapquest: I'm a fan of mapquest to begin with, which may be why I like this tool. Note that it gets different results that GPW, so they are both worth checking out.
Gas Price Widget #1: This widget is for MAC users. It has a great looking user interface and is definitely worth a try for you MAC addicts.- Gas Price Widget #2: This is a great little widget that can be downloaded to your desktop or uploaded to a webpage. And you can always bookmark this post and come back to use the widget anytime.
