Use Google Maps as a Cheap Gas Finder
64.
If you are looking for ways to save money on those ever rising gas prices, then Google's got a treat in store for you. You can Google your local gas prices to see who has the cheapest price at the pump in your neighborhood or wherever you might be traveling.
The cheap gas finder works by using Google Maps and a widget from GasBuddy.com. Once you add the widget to Google Maps, all you'll need to do is enter a city, state or zip code and Google will show you a map with all the gas stations marked, then you just scroll over the stations that are closest to you to find the one with the best prices.

Where do the cheap gas prices come from?
The prices for the cheap gas locator that can be added onto Google Maps come from GasBuddy.com and they get their prices from the dedicated drivers that scout prices locally and update the listings every day.
One thing to keep in mind as you search for the cheapest gas prices is that you want to make sure that you don't kill your savings by driving too far for the gas. It is worth driving a few blocks out of the way to save .10 cents a gallon at another gas station. It is usually not worth driving several miles out of your way to save .10 cents a gallon, though it might be worth driving a mile or two down the road if your tank is nearly empty and so you can save on a complete fill-up.
