Cheaper by the gallon

You know the feeling. After wincing at the cost of filling up your gas-guzzling sport-utility vehicle, you drive away - only to find cheaper gas moments later. How can you avoid adding insult to injury?

Now, thanks to a consumer watchdog group's Web site, you can figure out exactly where to fill up in your area for the best price.

Updated daily, www.gaspricewatch.com is compiled by "volunteer spotters" and welcomes contributions in return for reward points that can be converted into prizes. The Web site's spotters have reported price differentials as high as 20 cents in the same town.
