How to use GasBuddy App to Find the Best Gas Prices

Want to save money on a road trip? This comprehensive guide on how to use the GasBuddy app will help you find the best gas prices.

Unless you’re driving a hybrid or an electric vehicle, gas is one of those evil necessities that’ll drain your wallet faster than a visit to Wrigley Field.

When I planned our first two Two Lane Gems tours I used RoadTrippers. One of its features is an estimated fuel cost calculator. Each time I’d add a destination I’d watch that number rise and I’d cringe as each extra mile translated into bigger expenses.

It didn’t stop me from adding that out-of-the-way destination. I figured that was the cost of doing business and I was on a mission. I wasn’t about to plan our trip based on the price of gas.

That’s just silly talk.

BUT, gas is a huge expense. And there’s little more frustrating than pulling off to fill your tank and then passing a station at the next exit or town that’s twenty cents cheaper per gallon.

Mile after mile, those cents add up to big dollars. When you want to calculate gas prices for a trip, I’ve got a favorite tool:

GasBuddy.

Gas Buddy is an easy-to-use app and website that is all about saving money on gas.
