Description

GPS Gasoline takes your longitude and latitude (from Road Runner) and converts it to the nearest zipcode based on that data.

It then takes that zipcode and sends a request to the internet for the gas prices in that area
using
Then you can browse thru the stations and see where the cheapest gas is where you are located.
Requests are welcomed, but keep in mind this is my 1st program I've written
