GasBuddy is a service for US and Canada which can help you to find cheap gas prices in your city. Pretty handy because you may save as much as 20 percent within a short distance. Other than finding gas price from zip code, there is a Gas price temperature map, which gives you a overall view on US with US price ranges.

    GAS WAR – an idea that WILL work

    This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came
    from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. It’s
    worth your consideration.

    Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to $1.50 per
    litre by next summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to
    come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. Phillip
    Hollsworth offered this good idea.

    This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the “don’t buy gas on a certain day”
    campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies
    just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn’t continue to “hurt”
    ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to
    us than it was a problem for them.

    BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can
    really work. Please read on and join with us! By now you’re probably
    thinking gasoline priced at about $.80 is super cheap. Me too! It is
    currently $1.08 for regular unleaded in my town. Now that the oil
    companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the
    cost of a liter of gas is CHEAP at $.90 – $1.00, we need to take
    aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the
    marketplace….. not sellers. With the price of gasoline going up
    more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are
    going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the
    pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT
    hurting ourselves. How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can’t just
    stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all
    act together to force a price war.

    HERE’S THE IDEA:

    For the rest of this year, DON’T purchase ANY gasoline from the two
    biggest companies , PETRO CANADA and ESSO. If they are not selling
    any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce
    their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.

    But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon
    and Mobil gas buyers. It’s really simple to do! Now, don’t wimp out
    at this point…. keep reading and I’ll explain how simple it is to
    reach millions of people.

    I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us sends it to at
    least ten more (30 x 10 =3D 300) … and those 300 send it to at
    least ten more (300 x 10 =3D 3,000)…and so on, by the time the
    message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over
    THREE MILLION consumers. If those three million get excited and pass
    this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been
    contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it…. THREE

    >>>>HUNDRED MILLION >>>>PEOPLE!!!

    Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That’s all. (If
    you don’t understand how we can reach 300 million,all you have to do
    is send this to 10 people…. I’m a mathematician, so trust me on
    this one.)

    How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to
    ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people
    could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!!

    I’ll bet you didn’t think you and I had that much potential, did you?

    Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you,
    please pass this message on. I suggest that we not buy from PETRO
    CANADA/ESSO UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $.60 RANGE AND KEEP
    THEM DOWN.

    THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
