GasBuddy

My friend somehow has GasBuddy integrated with his iPhone. He used his iPhone map to find the lowest diesel fuel around us. I know that google is the default map on his phone, I wonder if maybe there's a way to tie GasBuddy maps in with this frontend application you've made.

This is a very cool app you've setup, so I hope these suggestions don't seem like a lack of appreciation. I'm just throwing out ideas that might make it more cool.
I don't mind suggestion and ideas at all. Please keep them coming.

On the GasBuddy: I went to their web site and couldn't find any "public api". It would be possible to scrape the data from their mobile version but it is not how I like to implement things.

I would depend on them providing me with a "data feed" and authorization to use the data.
