Thanks to our friends at AutoInsuranceWarehouse and MapQuest, now you can easily view what gas stations have the best gas prices within your neighbourhood. With the new version 2.0 of MapQuest Gas Prices, you’ll be able to pinpoint exactly where and who has the best gas prices PERIOD!
Mapquest Gas Price Calculator - This simple gas price tool allows you to input your trip information, length, the gas price from the station you’re going to fill up at and the miles per gallon your car gets. Once you do that you receive an estimate of what a trip will cost you in terms of fuel. So, for example, if you drive from San Diego to Los Angeles (approximately 121 miles) and your car gets about 28 MPG and the cost of gas is $2.94, you can easily find out that your road trip will cost $12.71.
MapQuest Drag to Pan Maps & Aerial Images - While MapQuest.com had the latest map interface when they launched MapQuest Gas Prices, they were deadset on using the same API product as their Platform Services customers on MapQuest Gas Prices so in this new version they’re using the latest Enterprise Edition.
Mapquest Browse by State & City - Mapquest recognizes that not everyone wants to spend their time searching the internet for the best gas prices. That is why Mapquest have created hundreds of pages that allow you to browse fuel types by state and easily pinpoint the cheapest gas prices by city.
Expiration on Gas Prices - Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) is the data provider that gives MapQuest all the gas and diesel prices to display on their site. Mapquest updates their site seven times a day to bring you the latest gas prices in your selected area. Any price older than 48 hours no longer shows up in the search results and is not factored in when they show the lowest prices on the map or search results. If you want to see that price, you can click the station name.
