- darkchild82, on 05/06/2008, -0/+24With prices rising on a weekly basis, I only see more traffic for sites like these.
- SirPopper, on 05/06/2008, -4/+22Dugg
The prices will increase, I need no tool for that to know this. - castevens, on 05/06/2008, -0/+17I wish I had known about this earlier today when I was getting gas. Apparently there was a place right around the corner selling for $0.08 cheaper :(
- spammishking, on 05/06/2008, -1/+17Do we really need 11 different ways to check fuel prices?
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -2/+17Is there a tool that tells you what country to invade next?
- castevens, on 05/06/2008, -2/+141. Type zip code
2. Find cheapest gas near you
3. ???
4. Profit! - petemcfraser, on 05/06/2008, -2/+13ZOMFG! You could have saved $1.60!
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -4/+13interesting site
- socialpyramid, on 05/06/2008, -0/+9You Brits with your "petrol." So cute.
- RealmDown, on 05/06/2008, -2/+11Yes. Her name is Hillary.
- MikeonTV, on 05/06/2008, -0/+8Bus routes?
- sgiffy, on 05/06/2008, -1/+9I am not willing to do that much work to save what will likely amount to a few bucks a month. I could panhandle for the same amount of time and make more.
- bixby1, on 05/06/2008, -0/+8I use gasbuddy. It's often accurate. I never thought I'd be a gas bargain shopper.
- shankarganesh, on 05/06/2008, -1/+9biofuels FTW? but..
- jboitnott, on 05/06/2008, -0/+8The Tesla electric car and the others like it that are allegedly on the way can't come soon enough. Not that I'll have enough money to afford them at first. We'll have to rely on earth-concious rich people to bring the price down.
- cybrspin, on 05/06/2008, -0/+7I don't drive, i get to watch it like a death clock. Higher it goes, more people i know have heart attacks :P
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+7price of rice?
- Dunhamzzz, on 05/06/2008, -1/+7UK Version here, lets you check pertrol stations by location!: http://www.petrolprices.com
- purag66, on 05/13/2009, -0/+6@borez: Everything is organic matter, you plank! What's your point?
Ethanol production is largely responsible for rising food prices. Biofuels from oil waste actually have the potential to reduce food prices because restuarants, etc., would actually get PAID to sell their fryer's grease rather than actually PAY someone else to lug it out. - ngmcs8203, on 05/06/2008, -0/+6Ok so if you had a 30 Gallon tank, at $0.08/gallon in savings you are saving $2.40
Just like saving $0.18/gallon over the summer months, by removing money that'd be going in to our road infrastructure, the savings aren't that dramatic. Whoo $50 over 3 months. What an enormous savings! - thedzigner, on 05/06/2008, -1/+7Where's my bike??
- StevieJanowski, on 04/02/2009, -0/+5THe next step is integrating this data into car navigation systems, then this info will become even more useful
- AmyVernon, on 05/06/2008, -4/+9cool tips...
- coollettuce, on 05/06/2008, -1/+6I think you mean corn ethanol, in which case I agree with you. But ethanol made from switch grass or biofuels from used oils and waste are actually good for the environment.
- petemcfraser, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5Magic 8 Ball seems to be working for the current admin.
- borez, on 05/06/2008, -1/+5Just wait till this time next year, you won't be driving much then.
- chethanp, on 05/06/2008, -3/+7quite useful
- sega01, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4I would love to convert my '86 Celica to CNG or another fuel; it is amazing how high the gas prices are, and the reduced emmisions would be awesome. Those sites just seem to show how ridiculously priced gasoline is :-(.
- decepticrat, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4It's getting so bad that we actually go on excursions much less now thanks to the insane cost of gasoline.
- redhotkurt, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3$1.60 will buy you 2/5 of a gallon of gas where I live (it's over $4/gal in Chicago). That $1.60 goes a lot further than you think.
- ngmcs8203, on 05/06/2008, -1/+4And that 2/5 of a gallon gets you, what, an extra 10 miles of driving? Whoopdeedoo.
- FecalHurler, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3Earth-Conscious rich people? Does...not...compute....
- URnotheonly1, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3Been trying to get it done for 30 years
- ventsi, on 05/06/2008, -2/+5looks useful to me
good site - URnotheonly1, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3oil works
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -1/+4The peak oil theory is a fraud, artificial scarcity.

http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=energy+non+c ... - sportsbooks, on 05/06/2008, -1/+4The next step would be to not use anymore gas or any other oil product.
- rotten777, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2I'm in the same situation. I'll be doing day-trips much closer now :(
Too bad I can't fit a kayak on a 10 speed. - rotten777, on 05/06/2008, -2/+4Hi Mr. Knee-jerk reaction,
I'd invite you to research the reality behind the ANWAR and the time-line on when we would receive returns from drilling there. I'll give you a hint: It would take much longer to see one drop of that oil in American gas stations than it took for the Exxon stock price to triple. - petemcfraser, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2I don't think it's just you...
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2foxnews.com
- GeauxLSU, on 05/06/2008, -1/+3IMO, all the environmental movements of the past decades have done less to change the American mindset on energy conservation and renewable energy than the recent oil spike.....Nothing like hitting people in the pocketbook to change their mindset! Less SUV's and high horse power cars on the road is a great thing...and safer for me in my small car.
Economics will be the guiding force behind all of these renewable movements....As oil gets pricier, venture capitalists will look elsewhere for opportunities that were once seen as expensive and not practical. Short term pain....LONG TERM GAIN!
Shame on the DEM congress for mandating more corn ethanol production....Too close to the farm lobby boys and girls? We need more 2nd and 3rd gen biofuels! - Thinker10, on 05/06/2008, -4/+6Cool tools, but they aren't explained in much detail...
- FecalHurler, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2digg.com
- shifty2, on 05/06/2008, -2/+4depends on your fuel capacity. I have a diesel VW Jetta with a DOT certified 15 Gallon expansion tank. At 30 Gallons, and the price differences between gas stations, you're looking at $8~$10 per fill up. and plus with the price for Diesel going up faster than Gasoline, its better to fill up now than later.
still waiting on my vegetable oil filter system... - ngmcs8203, on 05/06/2008, -1/+3Has anyone ever walked by a kitchen that was emptying their grease traps? I don't know if I'd want to be behind a car, let alone sitting in traffic, with that smell coming out of the tailpipe.
- rotten777, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Here's something else that's useful in regards to gas prices...
"Shell’s net income in the first three months of the year rose 25 percent to $9.08 billion and BP reported its profit increased 63 percent to $7.62 billion. Shares of Shell and BP trading in London rose more on Monday than they have in at least two years. At BP, oil and gas production was unchanged at 3.9 million barrels of oil equivalent a day, the company said. Shell’s output remained unchanged at 3.5 million barrels of oil equivalent a day, though several recent events had disrupted production."

Feel free to share that with your friends and family. They're making a ton of profit (even more than they expected themselves) - daimposter, on 05/06/2008, -1/+3interesting that you get 7 diggs for statement.
(p.s. i know what will follow. some smart-ass comment from a user writing 'interesting that you got -25 diggs for that statement). - strictnein, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Bike stores?
- bankhead, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Another good one - http://www.automotive.com/gas-prices/index.html
