I have a Gas Buddy app. on my iPhone.  I would be lost without it and the money that I save on gas off sets my data package.

Since I travel between Lansing and Grand Rapids, I can check gas prices while on the road and determine the cheapest prices as I go.  This makes it convenient when I need gas.

The other day as I was heading home, I could see that the price of gas was going up by $.25 cents in Lansing but not in Lowell.  So, when I got to Lowell, I checked my iPhone and discovered that the price of gas was going up by $.25 there also.

But there was still one station that had cheap gas.  Knowing that this wouldn’t last long, I headed for the station.  Sure enough, they still had cheap gas.  So, I filled up and saved $5.00!

While I realize that $5.00 isn’t the national debt, every little bit helps.
