Finding cheap gas in your area is becoming increasingly important to everyone’s budget. In the past I’ve spoken highly of Gas Buddy which does just that. To make the search even easier, there is now a website that merges Gas Buddy data with a Google Map of your area. The combination of the two is so natural and should prove to be highly successful. The site, affectionately known as Google Gas, has gained so much interest that it has been overwhelmed with traffic and largely unavailable. Hopefully Google will provide some reliable server space to this excellent use of their technology. Until Google Gas is back online, you can use the old Gas Buddy site to find the best deal.
