Cheap gas prices are hard to find. But if you click on these websites, you'll be able to find the cheapest gas available. With such a wide variety of gas prices in the same area - you could save a lot of money by avoiding the expensive stations.

Find Cheap Gas Prices with MSN:

This cheap gas website very easy to use. Just punch in your zip code and up comes a map and a list.

Accuracy: (I checked gas prices at ten different stations) 6 of the MSN cheap gas website's prices were exactly right, but the website couldn't find 4 stations.

According to this cheap gas website, they get their information every night "from over 90,000 gas stations across the nation."

Drawbacks: On the MSN cheap gas website, the map doesn't scroll around once you zoom in, and if you're looking for cheap gas in an area where you don't know the zip code, you have to look the zip up first.

Still, I thought this cheap gas website was the easiest way to find the cheapest gas prices. These other websites are listed alphabetically.

Find Cheap Gas Prices with Fuelmeup:

This cheap gas website gives you a chart when you enter your town name or zipcode.

Accuracy: The Fuelmeup cheap gas website had 8 exactly right, 1 one cent off, 1 not found

They use gas price spotters (volunteers who enter the information).

Drawbacks: This cheap gas website has a narrow search. One town only had two gas price listings. You can click on each gas station to get individual maps, but there's no overview map with all of the gas stations.

Find Cheap Gas Prices with GasBuddy.com:

They use volunteer spotters to enter cheap gas prices, but many times it didn't work.

Accuracy: This cheap gas price website had 5 prices exactly right, 5 weren't found/or the website didn't work.

Drawbacks: I often got this message: "No gas prices found. Please choose another area. We need your help! We rely on volunteer gas price spotters to submit gas prices to New York Gas prices. If you know of any current gas prices in this area, please post them!"
