In the past I have posted this site www.gasbuddy.com. You go there, type in your zip code and it will show you the prices of gas in your area and where it is.
where's the cheapest gas?

Cheapest gas? Probably in Iran and Saudi. Does anyone else feel that the middle east is trying to cripple democracy by using high gas prices to affect the economy?
Jeanie, when my family lived in Saudi it was something like thirty cents a gallon! It's higher now, as that was in the 80s/90s, but I can't imagine by much.
What I wish someone would explain is why prices are so high in the first place! First off, OPEC says there is not a shortage and that demand has stabilized. Second, if the oil companies are paying $75 per barrel, and passing that cost on to us, why on earth are they in a position to be making record profits?! Usually when the cost of producing your product goes us, your profit margin goes down or, if you pass the cost on, basically remains the same. I know nothing about how the oil industry works; I wish someone could explain this to me in a way that makes sense, cause right now it seems like a lot of hoodwinking going on.
