CNBC compiled a guide using GasBuddy to show you how to get the best rate at the pump.
You'll be able to pick which fuel type you prefer. GasBuddy lets you filter for regular, midgrade, premium, diesel, UNL88 and E85. I chose"regular" for the demonstration screenshot above.
The app shows a list of stations and their prices from low to high. It also tells you the range of prices. For example, in one Los Angeles area, it ranges from $4.99 to $5.99. You can filter by payment method, ratings, brands and amenities, like restrooms or stations that are open 24/7. Once you settle on a station, you can click on the one you want. That will show you its full address, directions, ratings, reviews and amenities.
The app will also ask you to report gas prices at the station, so you can help others get accurate information.
