I also use Gas Buddy. However I also know how much it cost me to go to the ‘cheapest’ fuel.
While towing at city street speeds with stop and go for lights i get about 7 mpg. So if a gas station is 3.5 miles off the interstate/ truck stop - at current prices it costs me an extra $3.00 to get the cheapest fuel. Since my average fill-up is 20 gallons - the cheapest fuel needs to be 15 cents per gallon cheaper to break even.
