This just came over Nightline.It is a app for your phone of people in you local area reporting gas pricing for you to find the cheapest gas.I don't have a cell,but it might help out some of you guys.

Those 'notices' make me laugh. We had that around here a couple years ago when the prices spiked. You drive 'X' miles extra to save a few cents and burn an extra gallon or so of $4.00 gas then add in maintenance.

These are days when I'm happy I didn't opt for a diesel in my truck as the later, EPA strangled versions of the big three are not getting much if any better fuel mileage then a gasser - that diesel fuel locally is in the mid to high four buck range now

I would think you have to use it the right way.If your on the site driving your normal route and find a cheap gas station,then you pull in to get your gas there.

That's right - but human nature being what it is, many will drive those extra miles for a perceived savings without calculating the costs to get there

If its just pennies less a gallon you don't save enough to bother with..With my 40 gal. tank If empty .05 a gal saved is only $2. on a fillup. hardly worth going out of your way for.

Two bucks!!!!.That's two double cheeseburgs at Mickey D's.Yum.
