Display Local Gas Prices

My site is centered around one area (town). I am looking for a way to display local gas prices. Anyone know a way to do this? I know my phone has an app that shows this but to get it to appear on a site might be trickier. Any ideas? Thanks.

found a cool place, if you dont mind the ads, you can pay for the pro version.

 

widgetbox.com

 

good stuff in there -->

 

if you wanted to put in some time, you could create your own like so --> http://terabyte-hosting.com/page/gas-prices

 

or use the widgets --> http://terabyte-hosting.com

 

this is javascript, so you will most likely have to brute it into the database.

create the html block as normal,

go ahead and paste the source, then login to phpmyadmin or whatever you use to edit your database with

go to sys_page_compose

search for whatever you named your gas price block

click on the pencil, and edit the field by deleting what is in there and replacing it with the javascript for the widget.

Hey DosDawg, widgetbox is great, but do you know anywhere for non-flash widgets?
