GasBuddy.com - An Excellent Resource!

For those of you who like to stay in the know, especially when it comes to the best gas prices in town, I strongly recommendGasBuddy.com. This site is actually a collection of locally based sites throughout the U.S., with the sole purpose of providing the lowest prices in each participating city/region. The best part of this site being that members can post the latest prices in their area. I always check the prices of all the gas stations on my way home from work and post them quickly to the site in my area (Portland, Oregon) which is PortlandGasPrices.com.

I strongly recommend signing up with GasBuddy.com; its free and can even deliver gas prices to your cellphone. Remember, if we stick together we can give the oil companies a good kick in the shins.

Summer Gas Prices. No End in Sight?

Its common knowledge that the gas companies in the U.S. always raise the prices of gas during the summer when travel is at its peak. We have all seen record prices at the pump in the past few months. Even in the relative backwaters of Oregon, prices have been hovering around $3.39 per gallon. With these high prices, any chance to save money at the gas pump is not just smart; it’s a matter of survival for some folks. Thus this blog is born; it’s my attempt to find any and every way to save money every time you fill up your gas tank.

In this blog, I will share money saving tips, review popular fuel efficiency products, and bring the latest news from the oil industry. I plan to get to the bottom of these high prices. Are we really running out of oil, or are the oil companies taking advantage of their captive audience? What’s the scoop with “peak oil”? What about the largest oil discovery in history off the coast of China? How will this affect our gas prices? Most importantly, if gas prices keep rising how will America survive?
