Fuel is an expensive commodity these days, and with a further rise due in April we’ll all want to be filling up as cost effectively as possible. Why not let your smartphone help out? There are plenty of apps on the market, here are a few to get you started:
My Gas – Free
What they say:
“provides you with a – user generated – database to quickly search for the closest and cheapest gas station around!”
- featured in the Sunday Times, BILD & MSN for “Top 10 apps to save you money”!
Petrol Finder – £0.59p
What they say:
“Find Petrol, Diesel or LPG prices stations in your local area.
In addition to finding the closest stations you’ll also get the last reported fuel prices at that station.”
Petrol Prices Pro – £2.99
What they say:
“PetrolPrices Pro is the official iPhone application from PetrolPrices.com. Use your current location to find the cheapest, most up-to-date petrol prices in your area.”

Obviously Softlink Solutions cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information contained in these apps, but speaking from a personal perspective I have used My Gas (the free app) and I haven’t found any problems with it. I am not sure of the availability of these apps for Android or Blackberry, check your relevant app store for details.
If you’ve come across a great fuel cost app for any mobile device, leave the details in a comment or give us a shout over on twitter…we’d love to hear from you!
