You don’t have to burn up gallons of $3 gas to save a few nickels on each fill-up.

Let the Internet do the searching for you. It’s not hard to find the neighborhood gas station with the cheapest gas.

I did a casual search and was surprised at the results I got.

There are a number of sites, from spotter-based surveys that rely on average citizens to report prices, to more sophisticated sites that get their data from credit card transactions.
