Searching by zip code is one of the most community wide endeavors. There are people dedicated to driving around their city or locale and reporting back to a website list, community web site, car member club, or even calling out the price on a ham radio.

If you look on the Internet, you can find what gas costs in not only your city zip code, but you can find a website that will cater to certain countries. You will often find a website that has United States and Canada gas prices by zip code. Who would think our “zip plus 4” has so much power.
