Cheap gasoline Keep track on your blog

by Derek Anderson	Stumble this!	May 29th 2007

oil-price.net serves up three great widgets that keep us all posted as to the cost of oil and the national average cost of a gallon of fuel. I’m doing the rideshare thing to cut down on fuel use.

Ethanol?
No! But both Unleaded and Diesel are covered in the fuel price widgets. People need to know these things along with which gas stations to boycott in order to start a price war. (latest email scam) I think the emails that circulate about this should tell everyone to rideshare. This would be the most effective way to drop the price of fuel. The price would plummet if we cut our consumption by 1/3rd.

Where’s my Hydrogen?

Sorry. With only one or two of these Hydrogen stations in existence…a price widget would be pointless.

The better of the three

I would lean towards the Crude oil graph widget. I like this one because it shows 1 month through 5 years of data in an easy to understand graphical interface.

JavaScript

These widgets are JavaScript based in order to receive updates regularly and maintain integrity. (whatever) They are cool and they work…and that is what counts! If your blog has a political flavor to it…this is one group of widgets that you should definitely consider implementing.

1. Thanks for the coverage Derek!
   Yes, these widgets are very easy to set up and use and we are getting great feedback on them. We have a few other widgets in the works here at http://oil-price.net so stay tuned.
