Higher gas prices are about to make summer getaways a little more expensive this year.
We're ignoring the typical tips that rarely make a difference ("declutter your trunk," really?) and giving you price discounts that really add up, from saving a dime a gallon or more on gas to over 50 cents a gallon on diesel.
GasBuddysearches for the best prices near you, even if you use the free version of the app.
Select the grade you're looking for (regular, premium, etc.), and you'll see a range of prices near you from lowest to highest.
All prices are crowdsourced in real time by the 2.5 million GasBuddy cardholders, and you can update prices yourself if you see a change.
Each station shows the current price and the GasBuddy discount, so you can see whether it's worth stopping.
When you find one you like, you "activate" the discount with the app and use a GasBuddy debit card to pay.
There is also a premium version of the app that costs $9.99 a month, but you will need to see if your savings outweigh the subscription fee.
One note of caution: A recent software update is causing a rash of negative reviews.
Hopefully, GasBuddy is addressing these issues.
Another option may already be on your phone:Google Mapsdisplays gas prices when you select "Gas" from the "Search here" bar.
