Money Saving Tip - Find the Cheapest Gas Prices Online Before You Pump!
If you’re spending more money to fill up your gas tank, this web site, could be worth a visit, www.Gasbuddy.com. A non profit, founded four years ago by Minneapolis programmer, Jason Toews has been growing at the speed of gas prices and has been making headlines of its own.
The site’s popularity lead to national expansion. The single gasbuddy.com site has grown to into a gas portal site with links to over 170 local web sites.
All local sites can be reached from the gasbuddy portal’s home page map. The local sites have easily remembered names like Atlantagasprices.com or Wichitagasprices.com. The primary information source for all the local pages are home town volunteers.
When prices jump, so do the number of site visitors. When gas shot up to more than $2 a gallon earlier this summer, traffic to the GasBuddy sites increased sevenfold, to about 500,000 unique visitors a day, Toews said. It has since dropped to 150,000 to 200,000 a day―although that could spike again if gas prices rise, as many analysts expect.
Gas buddy will soon be adding 50 more sites to its founding portal. Toes reports that one of the site’s most popular feature is the historic gas prices charts and information.
