For every nervous obsession and annoying habit, a Dashboard Widget exists to suit your needs! With the continuously rising gas prices and my necessity for auto travel back in New Hampshire, I have become a gas price spotter. At every gas station, we pass in the car, I remark on the price: "Oh, here it's $2.34--that station up the street was at $2.38." My sister told me that I was acting like an old man. True, but at least I am one who is paying less for gas.
But for now I can keep my old man tendencies to myself and just check Gas before I go out in the car.
