Want the cheapest gas?

Add comment August 7th, 2008

Itchin’ to know which local stations have the cheapest gas? Check out Gas Tracker, a new feature on rrstar.com. Bear with us because we’re still working out some kinks, but you can check prices, add prices and add stations to the list.

Somebody added a price from a gas station in Tulsa, Okla., where gas was $3.47 a gallon yesterday. Though it’s a safe bet that nobody’s going to drive 694 miles to Tulsa for cheap gas.

I try to do my part. Each day, I update the information on the stations I pass on the way to work. It’s pretty easy to use and pretty cool, too.

If you have suggestions on how to improve the interface, send an e-mail to me at avoelker@rrstar.com.
