GasBuddy.com may be one of the most visited sites for 2008. The site itself isn’t a visual masterpiece. It also isn’t full of stuff that elicits ‘oohs and ahhhs’ from its visitors. It is simply a tool. A well liked tool these days! It’s easy to navigate and straightforward with the information you need. It doesn’t get much better than GasBuddy.com when it comes to delivering just what you requested.They definitely follow the K.I.S.S. approach (Keep It Simple Stupid).
So, GasBuddy.com gets “two big thumbs up” from me for simplicity of use and its straightforward reason for existence.

Aah, how does something so wrong look so right? The torn corrugated paper header and the navigation backgrounds are awesome. Notice the logo is done in a way that it looks like it is printed on the paper. The reason it looks that way is because you can see the paper fibers and textures through the logo. If it was not this way the logo would have looked like it is stuck on top, like a sticker.
The sidebar looks great too. Same background, straight edge on the left keeps everything aligned. I don’t think it would look this good if the edge was torn.

Got to check out the footer too. The torn shape is great, cut out along the top to make room for the links, … genius!! …
This site just looks awesome. It will definitely go in our Top Sites of 2008 list.
