Track local fuel costs easily online

I was browsing motortrend, and came across this little widget thing, that tracks fuel prices at local stations, updated pretty much daily. Well, I found it rather useful so I snapped a link to the widget and put it on a web page that is blank with no added bonus crap. Here you go, just add your zip code, select fuel type, and sort, and it'll give you all the local prices of fuel in real time.

brandable 5 letter domain in the .com realm. CVCVC.com tend to go for pretty high prices when sold, especially if htey're pronouncable.

consinant, vowel, consinant, vowel, consinant. They're easier to remember, and most likely pronouncable, like jopim. Also there aren't very many. VCVCV is less likely to be pronouncable, and they're fewer, so they're not as desirable. it's like 3 letter domain names, they go for a fortune in any configuration, same as 4. right now with availability, the real only desirable 5 character names are pronouncable CVCVC. In a few years they'll be eaten up so any 5 character name will be more valuable. Also single words are desirable, double are in hte middle, and 3 word domains are pretty much useless, but that may change as time goes on. FLAWL, NIZEY, PACOH, UVVER are some of my 5 letters that aren't worth as much now, but in the future will be, as they're not as brandable, but that won't matter when availability goes down. KNP.com being a 3 letter is not pronouncable, nor brandable, but because it's 3 letter, and there's so few of them, would be worth several thousand dollers, if not more. TheShoeStore.com is ok, as it's brandable, but not worth as much because of 3 word, and you can pop a "The" on the beginning of near anything, so it's not really special. It took me years to figure all this out, with thousands of wasted dollers on domains that I thought were worth something, but in the end were not. FLAWL.com is one. The fact that it's 5 letters is ok, semi pronouncable, ok, but not rare enough yet. The fact that the site FLAWL.us was an actual site is the only thing that made it worth anything, but hte site tanked, so it's essentially worthless. Plus the TLD is part of the name, FLAWLUS, pronounced flawless, was trying to be the next hotornot.com, but the era had already passed.
