One of the more useful sources floating about the world wide web is certainly the Gasbuddy.com USA National Gas Price Heat Map, which you can find here:

This map shows you current average gas prices across the country, broken down by county.  Zoom the map into a moral local area and county averages shift to zip code averages, and, finally, to individual gas station prices!  I have found it generally up-to-date and reliable!

Canadians, fear not, the same Gasbuddy website also has a Canada National Gas Price Heat map here:
