With gas prices ever increasing, and the average trips for Realtors not decreasing, I recently found myself spending $80-$90/fill up vs. the usual $60. Multiply that be 5-7 fill ups/month, and it can become a major burden on a real estate agent in a slump or experiencing a slow market. I recently came across GasBuddy.com and can honestly say it will save me $100′s this year. With the first two weeks of using it, I’ve saved over $20, just by driving one more exit down the highway, or a mile past my usual gas station. I’m not saying driving 20 miles out of the way to save a buck (I hope we all know that doesn’t work), but I’ve been using the Android app, and frequently save $3-7/fill up. That’s huge!!! While they do have apps, even if you don’t have a phone with an app (which by now you should), you can visit their website directly.

They’ve almost made it into a self promoting social game too! By offering a $250 gas cards in drawings for those that win points (you get them by updating prices as you see them), I find myself “giving back” more often than not!
