Gas

This widget no longer works due to the sources wanting to charge -- too bad, it's the only integrated widget that does this at the moment...

thx for the gas widget update. had been wondering if i needed to update safari. glad i didn't go down that road. and thxalot to gaspricewatch. hey folks, guess who is feeding you the info? and for free!

I was able to find the developer's website and the reason that no one is receiving gas updates any longer is that gaspricewatch.com has blocked the widget from receiving updates from their server. They have offered the developer a new contract to continue to receive updates, but it, at this time, is much too expensive for him to pay.

While none of the versions of the Gas widget now work (3/27/09), it's interesting to see that Google Maps has a feature (that works) to show gas prices with info coming from the same GasPriceWatch.com. maps.google.com click on 'My Maps' click on 'Gas Prices from 'GasBuddy.com'

Version 3.1 Mac OS X 10.5.2 This widget, all of a sudden, failed to retrieve gas prices about a month ago. Failures every day since then have been experienced.

This widget is totally broken in Mac OS X Leopard...can somebody fix???

This version 3.0 doesn't work at all. The price just spins and spins forever and never stops. On the rare occasion that it does stop, it just says N/A. I have a feeling that something has changed with gaspricewatch.com because if you go to that website, you can't get a price unless you type in a Gas Station's pyhsical address, or zoom in on a Google map and click on one. Does anybody still have the old version or know where to get it. The developer has no contact info either apparently.

What about E85? its not an option

Everyone who whines about how Gas did not find the cheapest gas in their area or how it did not find the brand of gas that they believe should be shown should ask themselves when was the last time that they contributed gas price information? Gas relies on its users to provide gas price data and about gas stations. If you find a lower price, update it. If you find your favorite gas station is not listed, have it added. But please don't whine about how it is not accurate if you haven't offered a price update for your favorites.
