Your smartphone is just the device you need to find the best bargains. ABC News tells you how to save money while shopping this holiday season and one recommendation they have is to use Bottle Rocket’s Gas Buddy app.

Prices can vary as much as 20% from station to station and with all the driving you’re doing to find the perfect gift, you’ll want to save money so your gas tank doesn’t drain your budget. To find the cheapest gas within reach, you simply need to enter your zip code or let the app figure out your current location by GPS. Gas Buddy will identify all the gas stations in your area, their proximity and what they are charging.

GasBuddy now fully Canadian-Friendly:
- All screens reformatted to be more Canadian friendly
- Canadian station detail view
- New Canadian price list view shows cents/liter with decimal

The update has been submitted to Apple and should be approved in mid June… And here’s the great thing: Most every time you use GasBuddy when filling your tank, you save more than what the app costs. And, for example, in Dallas, TX a GasBuddy user will save as much as $300 a year (your mileage may vary). Truly amazing!

Inquiring minds want to know: Where’s the cheapest gas? GasBuddy can tell you. The site collects real-time prices from some 750,000 volunteer price “spotters,” who send in daily updates from their local stations. With prices varying by up to 50 cents from one station to the next in some cities, it pays to stay informed. A heat map displays where prices are currently the highest (California) and lowest (Wyoming). GasBuddy also shows you how prices have changed over time and can send mobile updates to your phone. Other similar but less comprehensive services include MapQuest’s Gas Prices and Gas Price Watch

As the only official GasBuddy app, it goes to reason that having a portable version in your hands only makes the best better.  Think about it.  When do you REALLY need to find a gas station?  When you’re surfing in front of the computer or when you’re actually driving in your car?  How about when the needle reaches the E? Get the useful information on GasBuddy.com when you need it most. Download GasBuddy, the app, today.
