I am one of those sorry saps who drives a lot. I
haven’t always been this way, but since joining
VOXUS, I have an almost 100 mile round-trip commute.
With the recent spike in gas prices, I constantly
find myself shopping around to find the lowest local
gas prices on
TacomaGasPrices.com. It’s a
listing of supposedly the bottom of the barrel
gas prices in the Tacoma, WA metro area and
I’ve found it works well. The site is an
arm of
GasBuddy.com. The company is a
network of gas price listings sites for various
areas and claims it is a grass-roots community
effort to lower gas prices. It works by having
members post prices in their area to the site.
I just signed up to be a resident reporter/member.
The site claims a fringe benefit for members is they
are entered into a number of raffles based on the
number of points they accumulate (mainly through
price postings). The site says these raffles
include $250 gas cards.
I’ll let everyone know if I’m pumped up
about member perks soon.
