@johnlogic I've got #GasBuddy on my phone but seldom use it. Used it more when I drove more & needed to shop gas prices.

Haven't been spammed by them AFAIK but I turn off all notifications, so it's unlikely that any notices have ever been sent to me anyway. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I wish #GasBuddy showed price-history.
Columbus gas prices hit 3-year low

Drivers are paying around $2.60 a gallon โ€” 60 cents cheaper than last year.

Tried the #GasBuddy "Pay With GasBuddy" card recently. To be honest I thought it was a scam and I was very apprehensive with giving it access to my checking account, but I used it over the weekend at a Safeway here in Albuquerque to fill up the F-250 and I saved almost $11. Put 20 gallons of D2 in the truck ($3.33/gal), paid $66.00 and GasBuddy charged me $55.00. Not bad and pretty decent savings. Also, the price wasn't that outrageous compared to other stations in the area so its not like they were jacking up prices just to give you the discount in the app (or with their card). I'll probably regret this in a couple of months and will make a post lambasting them for their poor security practices as hackers have wiped out my accounts but until then I'll enjoy the savings. #frugal #frugality #frugalness #gas #petrol #diesel #fuel
