Did you commute to work in a car today?  Have you been startled by the price of fuel this week?  Did you know you can use the internet to help you save a few bucks at the pump?

Here's a sample map of gas prices, all across the United States (Map of Canada).  Dark green denotes the lowest prices and red denotes the highest prices for a gallon of gas.  This map is developed by collecting information from volunteer "spotters" all across the country. These spotters post the prices they've seen in their neighborhood gas stations here:

Check out the prices in your local area sometime today.  Planning a road trip this summer?  Plan for the fuel prices along the way.
