In our little corner of S.E. BC, gas prices can Now vary by as much as 14¢/L, depending on what part of our area you happen to be in that day.

On a random basis, I started using the 'Gas Buddy' website to monitor gas prices in our area a few years ago, but due to the recent Ever Rising gas prices, I use it Religiously now.

For those who may not be aware ... the use of the 'Gas Buddy' Website is Free, both to monitor gas prices in your area and to participate in the reporting of gas prices.

Over a period to time, A Good Chunk O' Change can be saved

It all depends on other driver's honesty. Some report false prices or just confirm whatever somebody 'reported' before. Just to get useless points and have high rank on useless leaderboard.

Quite possible of course ⬆️ ... and I'm sure it occasionally happens.

But I haven't seen a false report in a Looong time, and those old (out of date) gas price reports are clearly date-stamped.

Better 'Gas Buddy' than nothing, eh !
