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!

alt text & title attribute
Update: Apr 19, 2007 - I can’t answer for all blog software, but for WordPress, if adding an image to a post, you don’t have a say-so about using alt-text. So, make sure to put the Image Description option to good use - because that is actually the - Title attribute!
Make sure to include alt-text and the title attribute on your images, unless the image is purely ornamental. Some browsers do not acknowledge alt text, but will see the title attribute. But remember that alt text means alternate text, so use something meaningful. Title attribute means just that, it is the title.
