GasBuddy will show you the cheapest options first (for regular fuel, though you can also filter for midrange and premium options). Each gas station has a ratings and an indicator showing how long ago the price was updated. Occasionally it's a couple of hours, but frequently you'll find gas prices that are just an hour or a couple of minutes old. The app also mentions which gas stations are cash only, and if they have other amenities like an ATM, convenience store, or loyalty discounts.
In the event gas shortages become an issue, GasBuddy also has a Tracker that which gas station has fuel and power, and if they're running out of a particular kind of fuel. GasBuddy works best as an app because it has location and navigation features built-in. But if you just want to browse for cheap gas in your locality or your city, you can also simply use the Find Gas feature on their website.
Check Google Maps or Waze for prices along your route

If you want to see more gas stations nearby, zoom in or out, or move the map around and tap the "Search this area" button. You can also just search for "[Town name] gas" to get gas prices in the particular area.
Each gas station on the map will have a little label with the price on it. Choose a gas station for a detailed view and prices for midrange, premium, and diesel. The app will also tell you if the price was updated more than 24 hours ago.

Unlike Google Maps, Waze uses crowd-sourced data for gas prices. Above each price, you'll see when the data was last updated.
