Yesterday I download a GasBuddy app for my phone. I had to ride with my wife and roommate to give his car a jump. All I did though is take up space in the car so I'm not sure why they needed me. Oh well, it was a good oppurtunity to see how reliable the app was.
We drove by a Crown station and yes, the $3.43 price tag did match up. We jumped the Nissan and I drove it home while the other two went shopping for a gift for my sister-in-law. On the way home I stopped by the Citgo on 198 where I always fill up to check that price. The app showed $3.47, which was correct, but that station had a cash-only price of $3.41 which the app doesn't show. It would be a great app if it enabled that option but until then, I'll never know what other sweet deals I'm missing out on.
I'm going to give it one more shot before my trip to North Carolina and see how well it does for long trips. It showed me a Sunoco somewhere in Virginia for $3.03. If wait until I get there to fill and realize I past a better price half way along the route or see a better price later on the trip, that program is getting deleted from my phone.
I took my final today in my computer hardware class. I did pretty decent this time. My overall grade came out even better. I got a B.
Congrats on passing computer hardware and getting a good grade!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out that Gas Buddy app. I fill up at the two gas stations by the Delta Bingo.
Is the Citgo one of them? Remember the app doesn't provide separate inputs for stations that have cash discounts. Otherwise, the Citgo would be one of the top three on the list. So, don't bother using it if you're the area. I'll save you the trouble right now and tell you Citgo is your best bet if you're using cash, then there's Sam's Club and Costgo if you're a member of any of those places.
