Gas prices are only getting higher these days, how can I find the cheapest gas around?  There has to be a cheap easy way to find the cheapest gas around using my phone’s internet connection.

A nifty little program that was released by Microsoft’s “Windows Live Search” for Windows Mobile lets you search for a number of things in your area, most importantly gas prices.  To get the program go to wls.live.com on your tilt and click the link to download and install.

Open the program by going to programs and selecting “Live Search” .  Once open set your location to “Current GPS Location” by selecting “Choose a new location…” and “Current GPS Location”.  One of my favorite features is Voice Commands, after clicking “Choose a new location…” try pressing your left softkey and saying “current gps position.”  There are plenty of commands to try and its lots fun to experiment with these commands if you’ve got time to waste.  Now when you select “Gas Prices” it will list the 25 cheapest stations near your tilt starting with the cheapest.  You can then click on one of the stations listed and bring up a map/directions.

Live Search is a handy little program sometimes and other times it is just a pain (its free from Microsoft what can you expect?).  It could definitely use more options and easier ways to filter through results and I would probably complain a lot more if it was not free.
