(Kick those expensive gas stations to the curb and impress your friends!)

[Note: I just ripped this posting off of another GREAT blog… sorry for the lazyness.]

I’m back! Had a great time in Cali. Weather was supergood, just wish I had a week there… but I was missing the fam. I’ll bring them with me next time (more like next year).

So, here’s what I’ve got for you today. We all know that Gas is high… It’s unlikely that it will EVER drop below $2.00 again… So, until you get your electric car charged up I present to you GasBuddy. Check it out! Enter your city and you get get a breakdown of the gas prices low to high. Stop filling up by the airport and start saving a couple dollars. I found out gas in Austin can vary between $2.05 and $2.24 per gallon! That would be a savings of $2.85 to fill up my CR-V or .57 cents to fill up my Helix.

You can also use it to find out if the gas prices are jacked up near your house and you can ask yourself “where’s the luv?”.

A mobile version of GasBuddy should be ready to test by 3rd quarter 2005… Be sure to bookmark that one!

(Note: The above image only applies to people filling up 10+ gallon tank… If you drive a scooter and fill it up once, the money you save would only afford you a side of sour cream, which is not as impressive as a grilled stuffed with chicken… sorry.)
