Ahding.com has created a timely hack for everyone weary of paying high gas prices. His hack is called Cheap Gas and utilizes Google Maps and GasBuddy to create a display of gas prices and map locations for an area. The following shows a segment of the page I got when I asked for gas prices in Ventura, California.

You can select either regular unleaded or diesel. The hack covers most major cities in the United States. If your city is not in the drop down menu of available cities, or you are in Canada, you can still go directly to GasBuddy, which covers smaller towns.
