GasBuddy.com is a network of 181 local gas price websites, like www.LosAngelesGasPrices.com, www.ChicagoGasPrices.com, etc where where consumers work together to fight high gas prices. The website works by having consumers, like you, report local gas prices so that everyone can avoid high priced gas and save money at the pump.
The GasBuddy.com network is a grass-roots community effort to lower gas prices. In a typical city, gas prices vary by about 30-50 cents per gallon in the US (10-15c/L in Canada). If everyone buys gas at the lower priced stations, it puts pressure on the higher priced stations to lower their gas prices since their sales will decrease. In effect, it makes gas stations more competitive.
All gas prices on the GasBuddy.com websites are reported to the website by ordinary people. By combining the efforts of 700,000 national members (and growing), it makes it easier to find the cheapest gas prices. Much of the time, you can save 15 cents per gallon (7c/L in Canada) without having to drive for 20 miles.
