    Smartphone apps are useful ;)

    my apologies, snowwy

    you wanted a LITERAL answer?

    i find them by driving down the highway, looking up at the illuminated signs and typically the numerals tell me the price of the fuel

    again, i am sorry for trying to devise a MEANING behind your question

    next time, i will keep it literal

    gas buddy is a great app

    it lets me know how much pilot and petro are ripping us off, if i choose to use them

    but it pulls up mom&pop places that i cannot get to

    I have noticed that, but it does give options to plan for.

    The fuelbook app has been a help. On the other hand, once you cover the same route a few times you sort of figure out where the better prices are without help.
