According to the site, “GasBuddy.com is one of 178 local web sites run by www.GasBuddy.com. The web sites gather prices by a network of volunteer gas prices spotters in each area. “
Gas Buddy has the ability to supply you with gas price data from their network of web sites. They represent that they have current and historical average gas price data for every major city/US state/Canadian province going back to January 2001. If you would like a copy of the data, please click “Contact us” at gasbuddy.com.
At the site you can see the current average prices across the country. They go on to point out that one of their most popular tools is their historical price charts. By using this tool, you can see a historical chart of where gas prices have been , and you can compare to up to three US/Canadian cities or states/provinces. It’s very useful for seeing where prices have been over the past few years.

A new feature of the web site that I particularly like is the Gas Temperature Map. Gas Buddy allows you to see what the price of gas is by county and by zip code all over the United States. Lately in the Atlanta market you won’t be surprised that the gas crunch has caused this gas price “heat” map to be a dark red as prices have gone up due to shortages.
Overall it is a neat site that could save you money.
