I have been updating gas prices at gaspricewatch.com lately. I use the digital voice recorder I got for Christmas to call out the prices as I drive by.

Of the stations I have updated over the last few days, the lowest price for regular has been $1.49, and the highest has been $1.56.

Take a look at the stations in your area before you refuel next time.

I won't go out of my way just to save a few pennies per gallon, but if I can plan a certain station into my route while doing errands, why not.

Our van has a 20 or a 22 gallon tank, so knowing which station has gas at $1.49 instead of $1.56 will save me about $1.50. Not much, but if I do that once a week I will have an extra $75 at the end of the year.
