Whether you live on the left or right coast, some point in-between or even in another country, you’re probably feeling the pinch at the gas pump these days. Once again, iOS to the rescue! Here’s a peek at a handful of apps for Apple’s mobile devices that can help you suffer a little less next time you fill up.
Few of us who grew up back in the days when gas was less than a dollar a gallon could ever imagine that even the most fuel-efficient, four-cylinder automobile would someday gulp up $50 (or more!) in a single fill-up. Sadly, those days have arrived, and before Mad Max-style chaos breaks out at your corner gas station, it’s time to use a few of your hard-earned dollars to hone in on the best deals in your neighborhood.
Here’s a look at five such iOS apps designed to take some of the abuse out of your automotive travels, just in time for the summer holiday season.

Try living in new Zealand - we are at $2.20 per litre. So each fill up is over $100

My beautiful wife just got a new car and we have been refueling it for free. The new Nissan Leaf gets free fuel from the solar panels on the garage roof. Also, we are signed up on the free Plugshare iPhone app which maps people who are willing to share their fuel. Free is much better than $4+ per gallon.
