Widget Watch: Local Gas Prices

It's nearly summer again, and once again gas prices are on the rise. I thought I'd remind you about one of the gas widgets available for download. Interdimension Media's widget allows you to enter a Zip code and locates the lowest priced gasoline in your area using data from GasPriceWach.com. Choose the gas grade you want to search for and a search radius. The Gas widget displays the lowest price per gallon and its location within that search area. Adjust the number in the top right corner of the widget to search for the 2nd lowest price, 3rd lowest and so forth.

Good concept, but gaspricewatch.com doesn't have nearly the user base in my town as gasbuddy.com does. I wish they had a widget.

I don't mean to be finnicky, and I know [well, I'm guessing] most of your audience is in the US, but it'd be nice for the rest of us shlubs outside your fine land if you could make it clear that you're talking about something that's only relevant to America.

Is there a way to disable certain brands that you don't care for?

Here's a rant: why do so many developers do the aqua-reflection-thing to the extreme? The top of this widget is nearly unreadable from the simluated reflections.
The most annoying example of this is the Toast 8 disk capacity meter - the top part is essentially whited out - and that's the part you CARE about...

Whoops. Decimal misplacement:
$1.299/$0.83

Gas in my town is currently $129.9/L. Based on the numbers above, Bradley Petroleum is charging .83/L? Good deal. ;-)
