Get the GasBuddy app
Since many gas price apps rely on crowdsourced data, popularity is essential. If nobody is using an app, nobody is reporting prices, so the information won’t be very accurate. If you’re looking to get the best gas prices, look no further than the popular GasBuddy app.
GasBuddy has been around since 2000 and has a massive following. Back then, it was only a website, but it’s since expanded into a mobile app that lets you find the best gas prices at all of the stations in your area. You can either let it use your GPS to get your location or type in your ZIP code if you prefer to keep things more private.
The data in GasBuddy is provided by both gas stations and user reports. This last part means it can occasionally be wrong, but that’s pretty rare in our experience. In fact, the user reports mean that you’ll often get up-to-the-minute prices, as GasBuddy fans are much more on the ball when it comes to reporting a great deal than the stations themselves are.
