Sick of High Gas Prices? These Apps Will Show You the Cheapest Nearby Stations

<p>Getting socked in the wallet each time you gas up your car? Prices have been on the rise since the US and Israel attacked Iran in late February, and while they've fluctuated based on the latest news, they remain high. I've seen the price per gallon hover between $3.40 and $6, depending on location. But you don't necessarily have to pay such high prices. A variety of gas price apps can help you track down the cheapest nearby stations, with prices, directions, and other details. Here's how to use them the next time you need to fill up your tank.</p><hr><h2 id="gasbuddy">GasBuddy</h2><p>Free for <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gasbuddy-find-pay-for-gas/id406719683" target="_blank" title="(Opens in a new tab)">iOS</a> and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gbis.gbandroid&hl=en_US" target="_blank" title="(Opens in a new tab)">Android</a>, and available <a href="https://www.gasbuddy.com/" target="_blank" title="(Opens in a new tab)">on the web</a>, GasBuddy makes it fairly easy to find the cheapest gas in town. </p><p>The first time you launch the app, you'll be prompted to give it permission to view your location.

Each entry includes the station's name and address, a star rating from 1 to 5 based on user ratings, and the price per gallon.</p><div class="mb-0 rounded-md bg-gray-100 p-3 md:p-5" id="related-video">
