How do you find the best gas prices near you?

The website www.gasbuddy.com allows users to search for the lowest gas prices in a specific region, in a state or nationwide. Users find prices using a zip code search that provides a specific area's average gas price as well as a comparison to the state and country as a whole.

The GasBuddy website updates daily with the help of users who report gas prices around the country. When a specific area is selected, the website finds all gas stations for which it has a reported price and orders them from cheapest to most expensive. The website also states whether the price in the area is trending upward or downward and gives the average crude oil price in the country as a whole.
