The total amount saved by using the Gas Buddy app comes to a whopping $4.01. In the grand scheme of things, that\u2019s a pretty laughable amount \u00a0— four measly bucks, roughly a gallon of gas.<\/p>\n

Is it worth it? That’s for you to decide. In my experience, I would say yes. Navigating Gas Buddy never takes more than a few seconds and the alternative gas stations with the better prices are never more than a block or two away. And there’s always that little pang of victory when you are pumping gas that’s pennies cheaper than your neighbor.<\/p>\n

After sitting in a car all day, it feels good knowing that you have about 30 cost-free miles from that $4 you save. I think mine came somewhere near the Sonoma County wine country or in Redwoods National Park. My wife likes to think her free miles were exchanged for the coastal lighthouses and epic camping near the beaches.<\/p>\n

Regardless, it\u2019s my $4.01 and I got to choose exactly how I wanted to spend it. That’s gotta be worth something.<\/p>\n
