Gas Price Docklet?

Is there one?

Hello. I'm new to Object Dock but in just a few hours of using it, I'm completely converted from Konfabulator widgets over to this. I really love it. Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding a docklet that does the same as one of my favorite widgets. That widget was called "Gas Watch" and some information about it can be found here http://www.widgetgallery.com/view.php?widget=36500 (I hope it's okay to post that link).

Anyway, without it and with the crazy gas prices these days I'm beginning to realize how useful it really was, as I used to just glance over to it everyday before leaving the house and I'd know the cheapest place in my area to get gas. I've searched all of wincustomize with keywords like "gas" "gas price" "gas watch" "gas notify" etc. but I couldn't find any docklet like this. Do any of you know if anything like this is available and if not, do any of you have the know-how to put something like this together? I'm sure I'm not the only one that would very much appreciate such a useful docklet. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, I don't know how to make a docklet but there is a site called GasBuddy.com and I think you can create a DX object or Widget and link that site to it. There is also a free program called SDK which will allow you to create your own docklet.

Good Luck. Myself, I don't want to see the latest gas prices LOL!!
