Finding Cheaper Gas Prices - Widget

On a storm chasing forum I belong to members were talking about gas prices. Out in Oklahoma City, at one station, regular is down to $2.07! WOW, that just is amazing to me, considering here in Florida we are no where near that. So, it got me to looking online to see if I could find cheaper priced (not quality!) gas.

Well, I found a site that gets updated daily, and it is a site that seems pretty trust worthy, I mean, after all, it is Motor Trend.

What is great, they have a widget that I am including here - I’ll leave this post up, but I will add a page also, so that once this post gets buried in archives, just go to the page and grab widget, or use it from my page.

If you don’t want to do that, just go to Motor Trend site and you can look up all over the United States, you do have to know the county and city name. You don’t have to know the zip code though! http://www.motortrend.com/gas_prices/index.html.

Good luck and I hope that this is able to help others!

How would you like to stay connected while traveling across the country, yet not have to rely on finding hotspots? Sound like a good deal? I think so, but am seriously beginning to wonder if it will actually happen. I hope it will. I cross my fingers that it will. And yes, I’ve even said a prayer that it will.

What am I talking about? Autonet Mobile. Go ahead, check out their site, it sounds fantastic, and it’s been the buzz for awhile now, but I’m still waiting.

I’ve been hearing about this great thing for over a year, and back at the beginning of February I sent off a query to the company asking when it would be available to the public. I was amazed (and excited even!) that I received an answer the very next day.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Autonet Mobile. We will be announcing pricing and
availability in a few weeks.

Stay tuned….

I received that message on February 4th. It’s now May 3rd. Exactly how long is a few weeks?

I got to watch two of these little fellows as they picked their way across the sand near the fishing table area. It was fascinating watching as they turned every shell over, as they turned the tiny pebbles over, and even picked up the shells of shrimp, the meat of them long gone.

Thought I would share just a few of the images I captured when I went to St. Augustine, FL. Going back to the Alligator Farm Zoological Park will definitely be on my list of ‘must do’.

All images below are:
