Where do the cheap gas prices come from?
The prices for the cheap gas locator that can be added onto Google Maps come from GasBuddy.com and they get their prices from the dedicated drivers that scout prices locally and update the listings every day. One thing to keep in mind as you search for the cheapest gas prices is that you want to make sure that you don’t kill your savings by driving too far for the gas. It is worth driving a few blocks out of the way to save .10 cents a gallon at another gas station. It is usually not worth driving several miles out of your way to save .10 cents a gallon, though it might be worth driving a mile or two down the road if your tank is nearly empty and so you can save on a complete fill-up.
