Yeah, I should have noted that it's not ENTIRELY accurate - more of a guide really. It pulls it's info from http://autos.msn.com/, and did get only 2.5 out of 4 stars on Konfabulator. Then again, it's a bit better than driving ALL over town. Haha. Yeah, I should have noted that it’s not ENTIRELY accurate – more of a guide really.

Also, I have noticed that at times the widget isn't entirely accurate. It'll list one price, but then I know that I had seen it lower just on the way to work. Perhaps they have released a newer, more accurate version? Anyone know what their logic is to check the prices across each station in the area? Who reports the $$, etc? Gosh, there I go burstin the bubble...
