Gas prices are a hot topic of discussion in nearly every community. Since gas prices are only likely to increase over the following year, we need to turn to technology and online resources to locate the cheapest gas within a 5 mile radius of our vehicle. We also need to be able to determine how long the wait is at these cheap gas stations to decide if the gas truly is cheaper or not. As a result, this article is introducing a new product called the Gas Ascertainment Satellite Plug-in 5000, otherwise known as the GASP 5000.

What is the GASP 5000?

The GASP 5000 is a revolutionary product that plugs into your vehicle's GPS unit and you program it to your specifications.

For example, you can program the GASP 5000 to look for regular gasoline, premium gasoline or diesel fuel. The program will then search for the 5 closest and cheapest gas stations from your current location. However, if a particular gas station has a 30 minute wait, then saving 5 cents a gallon may not be worth your time.

Purchase the GASP 5000 Wait Time Upgrade to Ascertain Wait Time

If you want to find the cheapest gas station with a 5 minute or less wait time, then you can purchase the exclusive GASP 5000 Wait Time upgrade for a few dollars more. This unique software enables you to determine, at a glance, which gas station is the cheapest and quickest to your current location. This upgrade is sure to find you the most economical gas to save you both time and money.

Why Does Wait Time Matter for Cheap Gas?

I've seen people wait 30-45 minutes to save 5 cents a gallon. Do the math! Let's suppose that your gas tank holds 14 gallons. You find a gas station that is charging $4.05 per gallon which is about 5 cents cheaper than the one across the street. However, the cheaper gas station has a 30 minute wait and the more expensive gas station has less than a 5 minute wait.

In order to save you less than a dollar for your tank of gasoline, you're willing to kill 30 minutes of your time. How much is your time worth?

As gas prices continue to increase, you can be a savvy online consumer by purchasing this product through the GASP 5000's website.

Great article, but with gas prices going up the way that they are, finding anything under $4.00 is nearly impossible here in the state of California.

Thank you for this very timely article. I need to go fill up with gas today and I am scared to leave the house! Great resource!

Someone will invent this, you can be sure of that :)

This sound really cool...I know of some good websites but didn't know about this. Great topic!

This is such a great idea, yet it's really quite sad that we even have to contemplate this as a definite reality. I just hope we never need a GASP 5500 that does the same for food...is there a plug-in available for the grocery store? I'm applying theBarefoot's scalable notion here.

Necessity is the mother of invention, right? I think you have a great idea here!

I'm sure soon enough someone will develop this. Perhaps you should float this idea by the wiz kids who started Google.

Great article, thanks!!

The GASP 5000 would be a fantastic product. But if you are inventing it-keep it cheap! Fun article!

If I had a GPS in my car I would really like to have this...That said, are you working on a production model? I think you may have something here. Keen, very keen indeed!

Thanks for the heads up, every little bit of savings helps!

Posted on 06/05/2008 at 3:06:06 PM

 
Cute idea! More importantly, you make a great point about people who sit their burning gas for 30 minutes to save $1--not to mention their time. Savings requires time and money savings to be worthwhile or enough of either one to compensate for the other!
