With the price of gas continuing to climb ever higher, the least we can do is try to find the best deal. Of course, the best deal is to run an oil company so you can retire with a $400 million retirement package like the CEO of Exxon did recently. But the best deal we can find will probably be more like the lowest price for gas in the neighborhood. A friend sent this MSN link to us recently. Unlike some gas price comparisons which compile individual user-reported prices, this service appears to use credit card processing data from major credit card companies throughout the nation. That tends to leave out some outlets such as Costco or Sam's Club but otherwise it appears to be a pretty good comparison.
Another location that is really interesting is GasBuddy.Com which gives comparative prices for various locations around the country they have this great map showing where in the country gas prices are the highest and lowest. It would be interesting to compare this map with the President's approval rating.
And while you're thinking about all this, you may wish to write to your legislator and/or president and thank him/her that we even have gas to buy. With the crazy things happening in the Middle East, it's probably only our Iraqi occupation forces that are keeping the pumps open over there.
