I'm lucky to live pretty close to some of the cheapest gas in the area. There is another area that typically has stations that match those close to my home or even 1-5 cents cheaper, but it's easily 20 miles away, and never worth the drive.

Now, I let my browser/app do the price hunting for me.

PhilnTX All-Star Author Dallas Posts:656 Points:435,930 Joined:Sep 2011	Message Posted: Dec 5, 2012 10:57:19 AM Ignore PhilnTX Report Abuse I don't drive around looking for the cheapest gas. However, I do make sure that the station I fill up at is within 5-10 cents of the lowest. 5 cents on 25 gallons is $1.25 Not worth the money spent driving around.

What baffles me is that there is a gas station near my house that is regularly the most expensive in town and just 1.5 miles down the road is a station that today is .45 cents a gallon cheaper but the high priced station is full of cars. People complain about gas prices but dont seem pay attention to being able to get it cheaper easily.
