Randy Cassingham's Bonzer Web Sites of the Week: Recognizing Interesting Sites that are Beyond the Microsoft/AOL-Time Warner/Media Megalith

Gas Buddy

A huge data base of the gas prices in big cities in the USA and Canada (sorry, other readers!) where you can find what station has the lowest price for gasoline in any included region (great for traveling!) The site also includes a lot of helpful information about fuel, such as what all comes out of a barrel of crude oil, what portion of the price per gallon is taxes, and more. Sign up for your area, and you can add information to your local sub-site.
