Gringoes.com: Gas/ethanol price comparison sites?

Message

   Is anyone aware of any gas/ethanol price comparison sites in Brazil (e.g., like gasbuddy.com, gaspricewatch.com in the US)?

If there are no such sites, are there any general rules of thumb (e.g., Brand X gas/ethanol is usually cheaper than Brand Y)? I live in Sao Paulo, in Jardins, if that helps.

Thanks!

	The thing here in Brazil is not so much about price, its more about what gas station you can trust, as they adulterate the gasoline. Last week I used Ipiranga on Nove de Julho, Jardins and my car runs 1.5 km more on the liter than normal, but the gas is also more price!

	They aren't changing the gas. That is actually pretty difficult. They are changing the pumps to make it look like you are getting more gas than you really are.

	They should have a comparison site for how much water and other crap they add to the tanks.

	"They aren't changing the gas. That is actually pretty difficult." And where did you get this wrong information from? They actually do both!
