Gas Buddy

Just joined GasBuddy.com. Interesting way of keeping track of gas prices, getting current and historical data on gas and petroleum prices and viewing what other folk are saying about stuff relating to fuel costs, petroleum drilling/exploration, politics relating to petroleum, etc.

There's some tools for keeping track of you own fuel purchases that automatically calculate your mileage. The forums, like most ever where, are all over the map with opinion, but that's good too. Keeps you in touch with a variety of opinion and thought.

The key part of the site is the ability to track the prices of fuel in your area using real time member entries. As you drive around town take note of the prices of fuel and where. Then just enter the data when you return home or, if you have a web enable phone, immediately on site.

Search for gas prices by US Zip Code

We all work together to keep the data current. You get the benefit of other folks eyes and they get the benefit of yours. It's a community thing, everyone doing a bit to help each other find the best prices. In today's fuel price climate, that's good stuff.

I also added a widget to my desktop via Yahoo Widgets for GasBuddy so every day I have the latest prices in my area. Cool tool.
