There is also a site– http://www.TankOnEmpty.com — that will tell you how many miles farther you can go after the fuel light comes on. It’s pretty handy.

As a comment to the previous poster…don’t believe the hype. It’s been shown that “premium” gas does little to improve performance or mileage. It’s a ploy by the gas companies.
However, I’d like to note that I’ve been on several of these gas watch sites and they never list the lowest in my town that might be Safeway or Costco or Arco stations. I get the feeling that the biggies..Chevron, Valero etc feed their prices to these sites (surely by a paid staff). I’ve yet to find a site to list any of these. Perhaps the perameters of club membership or ATM/Cash only is a criteria for omiting these?

Well I use Gasbuddy and another site as well Petrofix.com. I basically was able to hedge my gas for a year at Petrofix, so I never pay more than $2.15 for the next year. Then I use Gasbuddy to find local stations that have cheap gas.

AS much as these sites are handy, I find that they aren’t always up to date for my area – or they only give the lowest grade which is below what my car manual says to take.
I find that when I find a low price for gas, I just stick with that one store, it is also nice that it is locally owned and not just locally managed.
