Price of gas went up between 30 and 35 cents/gallon overnight up by my place. When I came home yesterday, both places closest to my house were both at $4.049/gallon and now this morning, one of them was $4.359/gallon and the other was $4.399/gallon.

Wanna hear something awesome? Stuart Varney just reported on Fox Business that there may be a gas shortage around the end of July! Isn't that great?

Used my GasBuddy card for the first time yesterday, it works in conjunction with the GasBuddy app. You link your checking account to the card and it basically becomes a debit card that can only be used at participating gas stations (which in my area seems to be most of them). You look on the app, find the places with the best prices/deals and then when you select that deal, you have 4 hours to use said deal. I misunderstood how it works because of the wording. I thought it was an instant savings at the pump, but it isn't. When you fill up, the pump still shows the price as posted at the station. So I was a bit disappointed at first that it didn't seem to work. But not too long after the fill up, I got the above receipt in my email.
So, since their card is the intermediary between the gas station and your account, the savings happens when they process the transaction, so you will in fact only be debited the advertised deal amount, not what it showed at the pump.
So far, so good since with prices steadily going up, every little bit helps especially when I don't really need to do anything special to get the discount.
