Default Cheapest gas spotters

Where is the cheapest gas in your area ? What brand burns best/worst in your Vette? Do you get better milage without Ethylnol? Saw regular for $3.39 yesterday at Raceway coming back from the Lake in Livingston, Tn.................but, I can't run regular!

go to : http://www.gasbuddy.com/

Lots of good information. You can put trends up too , compare one city (OR country) to another. If you want to compare a Canadian city to and American - it compares APPLES to APPLES by changing them both to either US$ / gallon or Can$ / litre or whatever. Kind of an interesting sight.

Here in NJ, we were under $3.20 in some places before Gustav, then it went back up a little. Based on what oil did today (-5.75 to $109.71), I think it's going to drop some more.

Edit..
I just checked that link, and the cheapest in my area is currently $3.25.

I don't really pay much attention to the price at the pump, but I try to avoid gas that contains ethanol. Whenever I accidentally get that junk in the tank, I have to add a gallon of race fuel to get it not to ping.

Mac computers have a widget that shows the three cheapest places to buy gas based on a zip code.

MSN has been doing this for years. Just enter your zip code. Prices are updated nightly. Stations are playing the old trick of displaying the cash price on the big sign and charging a lot more for using a credit card. I like swiping my card, filling and on my way. Who wants to go inside and pay cash? What a hassle.
