While they should definitely win the award for ugliest website, SanFranGasPrices.com does offer us a very useful service - showing listings of your local gas prices and where the stations are. I was happy to see that the stations I usually choose are both the same price, and within realm of being on the cheaper side. And if you really want to drive all the way across town for the cheapest gas, now you'll know where to go, and you can even map it.
They also offer some other interesting tools, like the gas price temperature map - this map shows the distribution of prices across the country - with California being nice and red - the most expensive. I guess there are other reasons why we live here, right?
And there's this chart that shows the price increase over the months or years. Makes me a little sick to realize it wasn't THAT long ago that I was paying $1-something for gas, and now it's gone up a dollar in about 2 months, where it took 2 years to do that between 2002 and 2004! Scary.
