CNN this morning was reporting about the soaring gas prices, then ended with putting GassBuddy.com on the screen for the people to go to for finding best prices. There have been numerous articles in the media with the mention of this site. So, how did you find GasBuddy?

I thought wouldn't it be cool if I could go on the net and find out local and current gas prices. I did a search, and there you were! Great site!

We found you doing a search on a cross country 9000 mi plus trip. It help us so many times when we need gas and wanted to stop at a clean, convenient station with food. Many times it eliminated wasted times looking for a sandwich or other quick food.

Great app

New guy here. I've been searching for a while but never noticed they had a forum. Heck almost every other site does, so why not here? lol
Anyway I like to search gas prices before taking a trip. I'm heading to mississippi the 23rd and as usual everywhere on the way outside of Illinois has cheaper gas.
I live in northern Illinois where the most expensive gas is and there's a refinery(Joliet)very close. Go figure.
Thanks!!

After seeing very low prices on my way out of the area and the significant difference in price, I typed into google "low gas prices in los Angeles" I knew there was a site or app and I think I may at one time came across the mobile app and actually downloaded it, but forgot about it, after I switched phones/

I found the iPhone app first, downloaded that and started using it on my phone. I didn't realize that there was also a web version until several weeks after I had been using the mobile version.
