At the rate it has been falling, and if it continues to do so, we should be under $2.00 by next week.......man! When was the last time gas was under $2.00 a gallon?

Passed 2 stations (Lukoil & Jersey Gas) both selling regular at $1.99.

Thanks, Slickcraft for the app. I'm glad to see the Mobil in Gilford is fast approaching NJ prices. As Uppy reported, good old Alton is higher than everyone else. I usually avoid filling up there and either go to Gilford or to Blueberry Station in Barnstead (both Mobil) depending on which way my travels take me.

While you are pumping, use the other hand to get out your phone and update the prices that you are seeing on the pump. Use the "gas near me" function and the station you are at should be first on the list. I'm finding them wrong about half the time. There aren't enough folks around here updating Gas Buddy. Great app!

Before you pump gas and use your cell phone for any purpose at the same time, especially in warmer weather where gas fumes become more prevalent, look around for my car (PAR-1 Veteran's Plate), and if seen, wait til I leave the area. Please.

But yes, do update the gas prices as soon as you can do that safely.

If you can give me one documented (and proven) explosion from someone using a cell phone while fueling their gas tank, I will be more then happy to honor your request.

The nice man at Sam's has reminded me once or twice that I cannot have my phone in one hand and the gas pump in the other. I haven't asked him yet for the documentation.

I think somewhere further up this thread someone mentioned that it is only an Android App.

It is also iOS compatible

Too bad we didn't have one for the Marina's on the Lake during (dare I say it) BOATING Season !



which after saying it -- I wonder if we all could enter the various Marina's ?

Been using this on my mobile browser before it became an app. I travel all over the state, about 30K a year and it helps tremendously!

Another app just recent is the 'NH Alerts' app sponsored by NH.gov. It will tell you road conditions and accidents ahead.

Another recent app which I used for my NC trip is 'Waze'. Alerts you of Smoky Bear and cars on the side of the roads.

I agree, but it's not because of an explosion. You shouldn't be talking on a cell phone and pumping gas because there is a potential of you pumping gas somewhere other then your tank. It's the same as not paying attention to what you are doing while driving. WE all need to concentrate on the task at hand when it comes to doing anything around a motor vehicle.

Gas at the Alton traffic circle was $2.159 this afternoon. Cheaper than Irving in Allentown.

When in the lakes region, can you use the app somehow to find prices of gas on the water? Just a curiosity......i bet you can see how great that would be!!
