How many of you use www.gasbuddy.com?

[Chuck]

There are nearly 200 URLs that direct to www.gasbuddy.com such as www.dallasgasprices.com, www.chicagogasprices.com etc.

Drivers post prices at local stations and you see a online map that can be filtered from 4 to 48 hours ago for reported prices. Typically, prices change most Wed-Sat in the direction they are trending - lower at the time of this posting.

Anyone use it and thoughts?

I love their Android app. Makes it so easy to find cheap gas on the road out of town.

I'll take a glace at gasbuddy occasionally but I always use the same gas station so it's for gits & shiggles mostly.

I agree, most of the time station with cheap gas is not top tier and the line up are long

I found a tool bar from 'Alot" that has a few app's (Buttons) for traveling including Gasbuddy
Trip cost calculator,

Trip Cost Calculator is a Gas buddy app that plans your gas stops at the stations with the cheapest prices along your trip giving you the total fuel use and cost during your trip.

Only out of curiosity.

I fill up one of 2 local gas stations, that are on my travel routes. Which one I use depends only on which way I'm going.

I use the Android app as well. I use it often and I log prices. You get points for logging prices that you can redeem for entries in drawings for gas cards. It is a great app to use and have recommended it to all my family and friends.

Well, gasbuddy is not for Hungary, I guess, but we have a similar site too what I use to look up a few stations along the planned route with better prices when I go on a trip where I can plan the place of fill ups.

When I commute I use the stations(s) on the route. I don't make detours to fill, slightly lower prices would (mostly) never pay back for the gas wasted on going out of my way - especially if you have a small tank.

And on the 48-hour run we just used what we could. At one point we found ourselves with being low on fuel and strangely out of civilization for at least a hundred km. It was still inside Hungary, still among towns and villages, yet we couldn't see any gas stations along the planned route (the route itself was a surprise, we got the itinerary at the start). That was about the only time we took a detour to fill the bikes.

I report the stations I drive past daily. The data is only as good as the people who report it. Two of the stations I report, I'm the only one who does.
