Media News Update, 1/31: Cheapest Gas Prices

            Many people would like to find the cheapest gas prices, but usually settle for the closest station they find so they don’t waste gas searching for a cheaper price. Now, some phones like iPhone, Android, and Blackberry, offer applications that search for the cheapest gas prices, nearest to your current location. These apps can be helpful to planning where you go for gas in your area, or even for when you are in an area that you are not familiar with. Although the gas prices may only vary by a small amount, using the cheapest gas can save you a decent amount of money each year. Some phone companies also offer apps that can give you information on food and entertainment locations, as well. While this application offers a promising benefit, there is a downfall. The gas prices must be updated very often and in each area, if someone does not update the information for your area, the application is of no use for you. Apparently, the prices are updated more frequently in large cities and the app may not be a smart choice in smaller towns.
