You can save money by using apps like GasBuddy to find the stations with the lowest prices near you. And it lets you sort by fuel type, payment method, gas station brand and more. Here's what to do.

Getting started

  • Download the GasBuddy app, either on Apple's App Store or on Google Play.
  • Open GasBuddy and tap "Sign Up."

  • You'll need to share your location, a feature that can be turned off in your phone settings later on.

Picking gas

  • Tap the "find gas" tab on the bottom of your screen.
  • You'll be able to pick which fuel type you prefer. GasBuddy lets you filter for regular, midgrade, premium, diesel, UNL88 and E85.

  • Once you settle on a station, you can click on the one you want. That will show you its full address, directions, ratings, reviews and amenities.
  • The app will also ask you to report gas prices at the station, so you can help others get accurate information.
