Is the high price of gas making it difficult for you to come to meetings?

APCUG (Association of Personal Computer User Groups) is a national organization to which ICON (Interactive Computer Owners Network) belongs. The July-September Reports magazine has an article by Alicia King Padgett-Townsend entitled, "More Miles for the Buck: How to be an Informed Gasoline Consumer". She tells about a simple-to-use, FREE website that lists the lowest and highest prices in areas in each state and gives an example of the California website.

http://www.missourigasprices.com is the address for Missouri.It is necessary for you to register your name, a password, etc., but there is no charge. The way this site operates is that when registered members see a good price, they go to the website and fill in the section: Report a Gas Price. When you scroll down the page to the second section where it says Search for Gas Prices, you can click on the down arrow point for a drop-down menu and select Springfield (or Ozark, or whatever town you want to know about) then select the specific kind of station or All Stations. Next you will click the Search Now button. Another option is to search in a particular zip code area. Prices are available for the last 8 to 48 hours.
