GasBum Beta Released

Every now and then I get off on some random tangent and end up doing something off the wall. I won’t say that this is off the wall, but was driven by impulse that turned into a couple of late nights over the Labor Day weekend. For once this was driven by my wife, family and friends. Normally I’m the sole driver of some wacky idea.

After a late night conversation about the current state of gas prices I decided to take action and write an app that pulls the cheapest prices from the web and makes it accessible directly on a Java enabled device. Right now I’m only showing the three cheapest prices, but plan on extending this more in the future. I’m also planning some cool functionality if users find this app useful.

I think it will ultimately help people save a good amount of money since the prices of gas can vary by fifty cents within a given zip code. The name of this brainchild is GasBum. Please feel free to check out the GasBum site and download a copy. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post them here and I hope you enjoy!
