Useful for those of you planning a road trip around the US, is Mapquest’s new Gas Price portal. Consumers can find information on gas prices at more than 100,000 stations around the country, as well as the location of stations offering diesel and alternative fuels, gas saving tips and more.
Personally, I think it’s a great idea and to test this new tool out I ran a search for gas prices in New Haven, Connecticut for Regular gasoline, and was provided with the best prices from the cheapest gas stations, which could then be sorted by distance and alphabetical order. Great idea, but how about reducing some of them gas guzzling cars to help save the environment?!

Useless idea, in terms of helping the environment, because people will now be driving around in their gas guzzlers looking to save a couple of cents (but of course spending extra dollars in the process).
Or, am I missing something here?

Yep, I agree, in terms of the environment.
Cool idea though.
