New government-run site comparing gasoline prices in my area

I would. I’m not sure how many others would. The inherent accuracy would mitigate the issues that Gasbuddy has here in the states, at least.

Most people completely ignore broader gas trends and generally do NOT hunt for the cheapest prices in a given area. Virtually nobody is aware of when their state indulges in price cycling, as invariably the day after another price peak I’ll see tons of vehicles at most every station I pass.
