The selection of a particular gas station opens more information including detailed pricing (every kind of gas, if it exists), the exact distance, estimated time to the petrol station and possible savings by selecting the petrol station in comparison to other gas drive stations. Frankly, it’s not much more information who may want only, and is therefore GasBuddy before the competition on the iPhone is.

Overall the GasBuddy iPhone application is one of the best gas pricing applications available. The user interface is incredibly simple and easy to operate, results are fast and accurate and the price tag is very reasonable.

GasBuddy can be not free, but this small investment quickly amortised. With the GasBuddy iPhone application it is possible to save up to two or three dollars a tank of fuel. The ability to add new data is also handy E sharing makes it great when you have to find low price and want an employee say, family or friends.

GasBuddy is particularly useful when you are traveling or on the other side of town, and have no idea where to find gas, much less the best gas prices. There are some free gas apps in the App Store, but nothing comes close to the GasBuddy iPhone application, which makes it worth the humble price of $2.99.
