Saving money on gas

Gas prices are up again--they've actually raised 12 cents a gallon in the past few weeks.

The average price is $3.51 a gallon, but you can find the cheapest gas around town. First, check prices online. Websites such as gasbuddy.com and fuelmeup.com , give up-to-date prices for the gas stations in the area. Take a look at the sites, and compare prices.

Then, try getting an app for your Smartphone. Gasbuddy.com has an application available for smart phones (which is free), and there are other options for phone apps out there too. Check out Gasbook, Cheap Gas! and My Gas Wars.

The key knows your options, which means finding the cheaper locations. Gas prices are up because of an increase in the price of North Sea oil. Experts predict gas prices could go up a few more pennies in the next few weeks. So check out those sites, to find places to fill up on the cheap!!
