Here's a classic example of just how FAST the price of gas was rising this morning!... (You won't believe this.)

First, an example of what we saw LAST night... just a few short hours before the Thursday morning rush hour traffic:

If you're wondering...

• What's the average mileage for my vehicle?


• Are other drivers actually getting the mileage that's posted on the window sticker?


• How is gas mileage determined anyway?


• How can I track my gas mileage online for free?


• Where's the lowest-priced gas in my neighborhood?


• What's a FUN way that I can "play along" and help other drivers by sharing my own experiences?

...then you're definitely going to enjoy this 2-part article, including highlights about two cool websites:

1. YourMPG
2. GasBuddy

I've mentioned GasBuddy before, as a way to find the lowest price for gas in your own neighborhood.

Recently, I decided to take a closer look at GasBuddy and see what it's REALLY all about, and how they get their data.
