Apps to ease the pain at the pump
Q. With summer right around the corner, I know gas prices will start soaring soon. Are there any tech tools that can help me save on gas?
A. I know quite a few. Gas Buddy is a free app that helps you find the cheapest gas near you. To find the cheapest stations anywhere on your commute, use a navigation app like Waze or WHERE. The problem might not be with where you’re gassing up, but with a gas-guzzling car. You don’t have to rush out and buy a hybrid or an alternative-fuel car, though. Instead, use Fuel Log or Gas Cubby to track your car’s fuel mileage and efficiency. Then, use Car Trouble to help you find and fix any underlying maintenance problems.
