On my road trip to Southern California this weekend, I was thinking it’d be great to have a map that shows you all of the cheapest places to buy gas, along the route you’re traveling. I’ve been using http://www.gasbuddy.com for many years now, but the default page only has textual information for gas prices and addresses. I thought about creating a mashup and placing these prices on a mapping display, and in researching this mini project, it turns out that this feature already exists! I didn’t realize that until today, so I thought I’d share the link. This would be handy on a road trip, or even finding cheap gas in a foreign local city, such as Fremont.
