Where the article mentions using Gasbuddy to find the cheapest gas, it should also point out that driving further to get to the cheapest gas can easily become a false economy.

Frank ,
Not according to my brother...he will drive half way across the city and back to save 2c / litre then spend the rest of the afternoon congratulating himself (and informing anyone else unfortunate enough to be within earshot) on how little he paid for it !

Yep Christmas with the family again this year!

Peter.

ROFL. Your brother would be green with envy to know I drove from SoCal to ABQ to leave $3.20/gal gas for $2.85/gas.
