Oil Price Information Service (OPIS), a supplier of retail gasoline and diesel fuel pricing information, has launched a new service, iGas, on the iPhone that will help millions of users shop for the cheapest fuel.
Users needing can touch the iGas icon on their iPhone and the phone’s GPS system locates their position and returns the 10 cheapest fueling stations in the area. The actual prices are displayed in low-to-high order, along with the brand and address.
If a customer is planning on filling-up in another location, he has the option of entering in a zip code and the phone will return the 10 cheapest fueling stations in that particular area. Customers have the option to pre-select their fuel search criteria: Regular Unleaded Gasoline, Premium Unleaded or Diesel.
OPIS is updating the iGas application to allow users to map to the station of their choice. The update will be released within the next 10 days. iGas is available for US$2.99 at the App StoreApple App Store.

Yeah $2.99, but sounds like they are planning on releasing some decent updates. I have heard mapping, driving directions and time stamps on their prices.
