Commute-Based Gas Pricing Tool from BillShrink.com
With Gas Prices Constantly Fluctuating, Consumers Can Now Keep More Cash in
their Wallets at the Pump
BillShrink.com Adds New Free Personalized Gas Feature to Existing Cell Phone &
Credit Card Comparison Tools Helping People Save Even More Money
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- BillShrink.com, the free
personalized savings advisor that empowers consumers to make smart,
money-saving decisions on everyday services like credit cards and cell phone
plans, today launched a new savings recommendation feature for gasoline,
available at www.BillShrink.com.
"Given today's economic climate and that gas prices are continuing to
fluctuate because of low oil costs, it is more important than ever for
consumers to shop around and save," said Peter Pham, CEO of BillShrink.com.
"Our new gas savings calculator sends our budget savvy users alerts so they
can find the cheapest gas along their regular drives. Our goal is to make it
as easy as possible for them to keep saving."
BillShrink.com's new route-based gas savings tool gives personalized
recommendations for the cheapest gas at stations along drivers' regular
commutes. The tool calculates the true cost of getting the best price on gas
by finding the cheapest gas station and accounting for the cost to drive to
the station. By integrating the service with Google maps, BillShrink is able
to scout deals along consumers' routine drives--from home to the office or
from home to school to grocery store, etc.
This level of personalization not only shows which gas stations are the
cheapest, but it also points out which are best for each individual based on
their specific usage patterns and true cost of filling up. Best of all,
BillShrink's recommendations and status updates on gas pricing are available
via email on any computer or mobile device.
To keep up with ever-changing gas prices, BillShrink.com sends users email
updates on selected gas stations to their cell phones or PDA's, as they may
change from week to week.
The site is free to use, and consumers can find out how to save money in less
than one minute by simply answering the following questions:
1. What is your most frequent destination?
2. What type of car do you drive?
3. How much gas do you get when you fill up?
In addition to saving money on gas, BillShrink.com helps consumers save
upwards of $1,500 per year with unbiased credit card and cell phone plan
recommendations based on consumers' personal usage and spending patterns.
BillShrink.com is a unique, free online service that saves consumers money by

combinations, and matches them against individual consumers' usage patterns,
