Gas-Go-Round

Don't these prices make you a bit nostalgic?

One, two, three….FOUR?!?! As prices at the pump reach a new high of four dollars a gallon, people all over feel the pressure to save as much as possible.

For some people, a full tank of gas may soon cost a $100 now, more that a week’s worth of groceries or a nice new pair of shoes.  Unfortunately in today’s hectic society people are on the move more than ever, which means more travel, not less. Which means more gas to buy, which means … you get the point.

However, hope’s on the way. Cheap Gas is a smartphone app that uses your phone’s GPS to see where you are, then to show you how much gas costs at the gas stations closest to your current location. Cheap Gas even plots the quickest route to reach your choice of station.

Imagine not eating up gas to find out where to get more. Now you can use your expensive fuel for what it was meant to do.
