| Description | Gas Prices |
GasBuddy was started in June 2000 by Dustin Coupal and Jason Toews from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area in Minnesota. As of September 2009, it has over 224 websites for regions in North America, including all fifty states of the United States the District of Columbia, ten Canadian provinces, and most metropolitan areas in both countries. With an active cadre of 450,000 to 600,000 contributors, thousands of prices are reported daily, making available a large collection of near real-time pricing data for virtually all of North America. GasBuddy has also implemented a text messaging and WAP site to allow users to get prices on the go. GasBuddy has an interesting feature that shows gas prices on a “temperature map” so it is easy to spot the highest and lowest gas prices in the nation. iPhone, Blackberry and Android applications are also available.
