I think this is a great idea, however MSN data in my area is spotty at best, if you decided to use info from www.gaspricewatch.com, along with some distance modifiers I think it would work better in many areas. MSN has only one station for my zipcode, and only accepts 5digit zipcodes instead of 3.

I think this is a kewl widget, however - i typed in my zip and yea.... there is no gas station where this thing says its at.... Thanks for waisting my time, no help.
Also... where i live there is a fine border with zip codes, dont like that. It should be set up with county. I think that would be better. Like I put in my address and then show me closest from there instead of zip code.. Check into this

Bryan, cleentrax, james and sweetpottpi:
I'm sorry, that is not a limitation of the widget. Thats a problem with the data source. I cant imagine the insurmountable task of gathering data from every gas station around the country.

And Bryan: the map button didnt work for you because there was nothing to map if it couldnt find your zip code.

Bobznc: I have no idea what that could be, I have not had any other reports of that. If you would like, please email me at adrian {at} virexmachina {dot} com

This widget does not find any of the 7 zip codes I typed in, nor does the map buttom work.

Well, it's a cool widget. Unfortunately it's off by 18 cents. The station listed is about the most expensive in my neighborhood. Where does the data come from?
