It was created by AAA and allows you to <a href="http://www.fuelcostcalculator.com/TripGasPrice.aspx">calculate the cost</a> of traveling from two large cities in the US. They provide average regional gas prices, and also estimate (based on your car) how many gallons you'll use and how many miles it is. I just found another useful site related to gas prices.

Gas is about 12-15 cents cheaper there than anywhere else; I haven't seen it go over $1.99 yet (and it's well below that now).

While it would be nice to consistently get a break on the gas price, when you need gas . . . you need gas! $1.72 was the last price I paid.

I fill up about twice a month, so over the course of a year, that's around $50. Nothing earth shattering, but fifty bucks is fifty bucks.

However, I think gas prices are one of the most overreacted-to things out there. Often, stations only differ by 1 or 2 cents. Fill up with 15 gallons, and that's only 15-30 cents -- not worth driving around looking for the cheapest price. That said, you can find large differences occasionally, and I have to admit I've been guilty of my above argument.
