Another tool for finding low-priced gas
Most of us already know about the gas-price comparison web sites utahgasprices.com and saltlakegasprices.com.
Here's another one: Travel-services agency AAA has launched a Gas Price Finder. (Enter your Zip Code at the "Gas Price Finder: Find the Best Deals Near You" prompt.
The main difference among the sites is that utahgasprices.com and saltlakegasprices.com, which are run by the same company, rely on data from volunteer "spotters" who provide gas-price data in their area. AAA, which monitors gas prices nationwide, gets real time data from 85,000 gas stations nationwide. All three sites are good sources of information about gas prices.
By the way, Utah still has the second-lowest gasoline prices in the country, according to AAA.
The average cost of a gallon of unleaded in the state is $1.84 per gallon. The only state with a lower unleaded average is Wyoming, which has a per-gallon average of $1.81. (The national average has finally surpassed the $2 level and is now at $2.03)
Gas prices in Utah and the rest of the country are on their way up. One month ago, Utah's unleaded average was only $1.72 - more than 10 cents below its current level.
