Map for Finding Cheap Gas

Interesting website. I found it very accurate for my area.

The site was perfectly accurate for the north side of Chicago. No cheap gas anywhere or even anywhere near!

Interesting map.

 

(It's based on Google maps, of course.)

 

I just filled up today and paid exactly what they show for the station I used. I didn't shop around, because I was running on fumes. But I lucked into the best price in the neighborhood (as I discovered later in the day and as this map shows).

 

Oddly, it's a station that normally runs several cents/gallon higher than nearby stations.

 

They've got some REALLY good data collection going on.

Actually, I tried that before. Unfortunately, I lit my ass hairs on fire trying to get some "mileage" out of the gas. :7

 

Not sure I'll try that again. Plus, it's much harder now to "flick my Bic" with only one finger. :+

Ted! You beat me to it! I was just about to post the same findings as you when I read your post. Alas! Well, that's Chicago.

I go bike riding around my area, about a 10 square mile radius, and I also have some foreknowledge of which stations tend to be less expensive, however most of you probably would not be helped by this. However, a client of mine who is a traveling salesman with a fairly large (multi-state market) swears by this particular site:

I tried to use the map, but unfortunately it does not cover the area where I live (the Coachella Valley/Palm Springs metro area), where we have some of the most expensive gas in America.

>where we have some of the most expensive gas in America

 

You sure do. When I was in Palm Springs a couple weeks ago, every station I saw was running a good $.20/gal higher than even LA prices. (But I didn't see $3/gal, which is happening in Malibu.)

 

Oddly enough, I gassed up on my way out of town at a station near the airport entrance and it was *less* than what I'd been seeing around town. That's exactly the opposite of what I'd expect. Airport-located stations normally soak the rental car returns for as much as they can get.
