It is a useful site. I found it last month when I used Google and entered "gas prices (city,state)". We went to Yellowstone, and Wyoming and S. Dakota are just about the cheapest states. Many people traveling out there because of prices.

Just watch out for the octane level of the gas you're buying, especially if you're at a high altitude but will be traveling to a lower one on that tank of gas. In the mountains, such as in much of Wyoming, "regular" gas is 85 octane, not the 87 octane that most gas stations (and my Ford owner's manual) consider "regular." This lower octane also accounts for part of the price difference.

Just returned from a 4100 mile trip from Oregon to Yellowstone & Mt. Rushmore and return following the Lewis and Clark route from Mandan, North Dakota. The price for 'regular' varied from $3.97 to $4.35 - the highest being in Oregon. $4.09 was by far the most common price - every station in town after town - no collusion, I'm sure. Was surprised to see "plus' for a dime less than regular in some states - the plus having a higher octane rating but also containing 10% ethanol. Was also surprised by the 85.5 octane rating of regular in some areas. Except for the holiday weekend, we saw far fewer RV's than we expected in all areas - sometimes driving for hours without seeing another rig.

Couple of weeks ago we did a quick and fast trip from Colorado Springs to Kearney, NE and back.
Now in past years we have noticed a price variance of up to 10 cents through the various towns in CO, KS and NE. This trip the price in CO, KS, and NE was within 3 cents, the closest I've ever seen it.
Still there was one or two stations along I-70 that think their gas is the best and were 5-6 cents higher than their competition. They didn't have many customers either.

I sorry, but I don't waist my time shopping for fuel, all of it is within 5% of each other right now. Just go out and make more money and forget the worrying of how much higher this guy is than that guy.
