Check out Winder’s Gas Pump Primer

With Memorial Day in our rear view mirrors, the road is wide open to summer travelers.

Unfortunately, the rollercoaster ride we’ve been on for months at the gas pumps has some summer vacation plans going up in vapors. Before you hit the road for that trip to the beach or that visit to see grandma, you may want to make a quick stopover at the city of Winder website.

The home page at www.cityofwinder.com features a link that reads Local Gas Prices. On that page, visitors are treated to the 10 lowest gas prices in the 30680 zip code. 

Prices are updated regularly through www.georgiagasprices.com, which is powered by Gasbuddy.com, a free consumer-driven collection of local websites designed to serve the public with everything needed to easily and freely share gas pricing information. While it’s doubtful you can make it to the beach on just one tank, by filling up at one of the cheapest places to buy gas in Winder, it will help make that first leg of your trip a little less painful. After that, you’re on your own with regard to navigating the endless echo from the backseat: “Are we there yet?”

If you’re a true road warrior, you may want to get the Gasbuddy app for your smartphone to find the cheapest gas on the go — available for free for Android, iPhone and Blackberry users. 

Also check out Barrow Patch's Commute page to view gas prices and current traffic conditions in Auburn, Bethlehem, Statham and Winder.
