Real Estate Darwinism

Thanks to my friend, Monika McGillicuddy- New Hampshire Real Estate agent and trainer, I found this great website that will tell you where the cheapest gas in your area is.

Local Gas Prices on MSN Autos

This website is awesome! According to their site (5/10/2008), the cheapest unleaded fuel is $3.43/gallon. The average gas price in Colorado Springs is $3.54 a gallon and the most expensive is $3.69 a gallon.

We currently live in the Colorado Springs neighborhood of Briargate, and the cheapest gas station in town is just a couple blocks away!

At the intersection of Briargate and Union Blvd.’s, there is a Western Convenience gas station on the S/E corner. I have NEVER seen any gas stations beat their pricing… and I drive ALL over town. In fact, the Conoco immediately across the street from this Western Convenience is even usually about 5 cents per gallon MORE EXPENSIVE!

Gas just keeps getting more spendy, so a cheap gas station is always a great find!
