That, or I think I may have actually found it by searching the internet for top tier gas info, and it was advertised there.

I was traveling from one town to another anyway and decided to check. GasBuddy saved me 20 cents a gallon over my hometown prices and 15 cents a gallon over my membership price. I say it was worth the free admission. Now to spread the good word.
