With constantly rising fuel prices it has become important that consumers are able to identify the lowest priced fuel when filling up their vehicles.

With the release of the first GasBuddy/OpenStore LLC website in June 2000 a monumental change began in the way that people shop for gasoline. Thousands of people have been regularly visiting GasBuddy/OpenStore LLC websites where they post gas prices and identify the lowest priced fuel in their area helping everyone to save money at the pumps. Since GasBuddy.com, as part of GasBuddy/OpenStore LLC., provides an entirely free service they rely solely on sponsor's advertising to cover all organizational expenses and to fund further website development. The GasBuddy/OpenStore LLC collection of websites has rapidly grown into North America's premiere fuel prices information source.
