Apps to Save Gas

Always looking for ways to save a few cents, eh? Try this hot-shit new app for your cellularized telephone, Bankrate's gas calculator.

It'll let you know if the distance to travel to that station with gas at $0.04 less than your normal station is worth the trip. You might just spend more in gas to get there and back than you'd have saved.

I wonder why we need smart phones to tell dumbass Americans that it's going to be a net loss to drive an extra nine miles to fill at a cheap station because a GasBuddy! told us so. And I wonder if this Bankrate calculator also factors in how much gasoline you're burning while idling at the side of the road entering in all this information into your smart phone, with the air conditioning on, with the windows down...

This is why I love America...
