Add Gas Price Look-up to Any Site
www.gasbuddy.com has Javascript you can add to do a zip lookup for gas prices. There are several options available to add links to your site. Props to Stacey for sending this on. Check out the GAS Temp page too - it rocks. After Chuck went to the site to get up to speed on it he noticed they had several scripts that would enable embedding. See below for the zip look-up example:
Imagine this integrated on sites where people are doing trip routing and we know the zip they are traveling to. We could display the price of gas. Or even more simply, just show the top 10 place to get gas in their local neighborhood. Pretty cool huh. Chuck is going to look into the top 10 and let us know.

Got something to say?

I imagine people drive out of the way to get a 2 cents a gallon cheaper gas. Me, its a dime for convenience.
One of the things we have found, in terms of the Campgrounds and this opportunity is that many of them do not want it. They are afraid that if they post the gas prices that the traveler may decide NOT to take that vacation, or even worse, to find a park that is in an area with less expensive gas prices.
Whether this is real or not, it’s the perception, and we all know that “MY” perception is “MY” reality!
