US Gas Prices Map

Firefoxscreensnapz003_1

Via the University of Texas Libraries Map Room, I connected to GasBuddy.com. This is a great example of collaborative  information gathering by local consumers on the ground in their neighborhoods, combined with real-time data rendering.

Now you can see what gas prices are around the country at a glance. Areas are color coded according to their price for the average price for regular unleaded gasoline. Right click on the map for more information about each county(parrish/borough) or zip.

As of this post, the highest price is $3.45/gallon in Del Norte, California.

The lowest? Natrona County Wyoming (Vice President Dick Cheney's old stomping grounds) averages $2.49.
