Remember the days when gas was 17 cents a gallon? Now we get excited if the price just dips below $3.00 a gallon. This lens provides links to help you find the cheapest gas prices in your area, before you head out for the day.
Where is the cheapest gas price?
I am always amazed by people who will drive 20 miles to save a penny per gallon on gasoline. Or even better, I drove by two gas stations at an interesection today. One had cars lined up waiting at the pumps and the other was a ghost town. All because one gas station was priced a penny cheaper!
So how much money did these price shoppers actually save? They waited in line, idling their engines for 10 minutes or more, all to save what amounts to 10 or 12 cents! Every two minutes of car idling consumes the same amount of gas required to drive approximately one mile. GreeYour.com states: if a car idles for one hour, one gallon of gasoline is wasted. So based on this math, waiting for 10 minutes to save 10 cents on a gasoline purchase actually would cost over 40 cents! Not to mention the wear and tear and the time wasted, all to save one penny a gallon.
But if you are one of these people with an obsession with 1 cent, here is a web site for you to go to and find the cheapest gas price in your neighborhood http://autos.msn.com/everyday/gasstations. At least that way you can plan your trip and not endanger the rest of us by recklessly cutting across our lane to save a penny on gas.
