To find cheap gas using Google, we will use a feature called subscribed links. You can access Google Subscribed Links by clicking on Preferences on the main Google Homepage, outlined in pink below:
Once you arrive at the preferences page, you need to scroll down to the section entitled Subscribed Links. You will then need to click on the link to the Subscribed Links Directory, as shown outlined in pink below.
If you are unable to see the Subscribed Links section, then you need to sign into your Google Account, and return to the preferences page.
You can either scroll down until you find the GasBuddy subscribed link, or you can simply perform a search at the top of the page for GasBuddy.
