Gas prices are soaring — don’t forget this Google Maps trick to save money

Wait 5 sec.

As I’m sure you’ve noticed by now, gas prices are currently, uh… not great! One month ago, the average price for regular, unleaded gas was about $2.90 per gallon. Today, it’s over $3.90 and climbing. Where I live in Michigan, regular gas is selling for $4.00/gallon and above.There’s no indication that prices will come down anytime soon, so we’ll likely be dealing with higher gas prices for a while. The good news? The Google Maps app on your Android phone has an old, often-forgotten-about trick to help you find the cheapest gas in your area.
