Gas prices have been going up the last few weeks. The average price for gas is now right about or over the $4.00 mark. So the big question is how does a person save more money on gas? The answer is simple and if you have a smartphone that allows you to download or buy apps then you're in luck.
With the other gas apps out there, all you were able to do was to find the cheapest gas that's in your area. Now while searching for the lowest gas station in your area it is cheaper, that doesn't really save you the kind of money a person wants to save. For an example, If a gas station was $3.93 and another gas station was $3.88 and it was five miles away, is it really worth saving an extra five cents a gallon? The most you could probably save is around a dollar. You may burn that while getting to the cheapest gas station.
Well, I got some really good news. Cumberland Farms has just got done releasing their gas app, which offers drivers a five-cent per gallon discount without even leaving your seat by downloading their app. In order to save, you have to signup a PayPal account first. Then you have to download their app, which is available on both the iPhone and Android devices. Next, you need to drive to the gas station where you turn on the app. The app will use GPS and then you press in your pump number and there you have it.
Now with great news, there has to be some type of disappointing news. This app is available only on 50 gas stations in Massachusetts for now. The CIO of Cumberland Farms is hoping to bump that number up to 600 across the East Coast and Florida in the future.
