GasBuddy App Review
Who doesn’t want to save money on gas? With the GasBuddy app, by spending a quick minute or two you will be able to locate gas prices at several gas stations within your vicinity. You can search gas prices by a list view or map view. You can search by city, zip code, or your GPS location. One quick glance using the GasBuddy app and you will determine the cheapest gas price per gallon near you.
As an RV owner, saving 30 cents a gallon by driving an extra ¼ mile and filling up your tank can save you several dollars. This is definitely worth the time. Over the course of a year with all of the mileage you put on your RV or automobile, the savings can quickly add up. With GasBuddy, the app provides a solution to eliminate driving around endlessly to find the cheapest gas.
On the Open Highway
Driving on an unfamiliar highway can be daunting not knowing the local area and gas station locations. GasBuddy will provide you with a map view of the gas stations and prices along the upcoming highway you are driving on. Many times, the gas prices at the stations right off of the freeway tend to be higher because of convenience and location. By knowing the lower gas price of a station a block away will save you time and money.
With one glance you will be determine the price per gallon of the different grades of gas your coach uses. The app also provides you with the price spread of gas based on the gas stations near you. A sample spread on my app showed a spread of 68 cents with the lowest gas price of $3.31 and highest gas price of $3.99. Knowing my luck, without this app I probably would have filled up at the $3.99 station losing out the potential savings of the lower price down the street.
Directions to Gas Stations
Based on the list or map view of gas stations, one touch of the station icon takes to you a map where you can get directions to your selected station. After you select your gas station, the app provides other useful information such as prices of different grades of gas, station hours, amenities (C-store, air, ATM, etc,). The app also provides the gas station rating if you care to know.
How Gas Prices are reported
The app relies on users to confirm gas prices. The gas price will reflect when the last reported price was submitted (10 minutes ago, 14 hours ago, etc.). Based on reviews of several websites, some reviews reported incorrect gas prices. My review of gas prices on GasBuddy has been for most part a very accurate reporting of gas prices.
