The price of gasoline is exploding, so it is more important than ever to find where to refuel at the best price to cover a few extra kilometers. There are several great apps for finding the cheapest gas stations around you, but none of the usual ones are compatible with Android Auto.
Where you will find it most useful to locate cheap gas stations is in your own car. That’s why we tell you how to find the cheapest gasoline in android autogiving you both a free and paid alternative, but much more comfortable.
With Google Maps
If your mobile is equipped with Android Auto, it also has Google Maps, which is the default navigation application. Google Maps includes gas price data
This means that if you want to know the price of gasoline, you must first make a service station searchwhat you can do in a few clicks: in the search engine, in the Categories and finally in Service stations.
This shows a list of gas stations in your area, although the data highlighted in the results list is the name, address, and average rating of your reviews. In other words, the price of gasoline is not included.
yes you will see by knocking at one of the gas stations, displayed just below the name of the gas station (and as long as Google has the updated data, which is usual). It’s a bit small text and implies that you have to open them all one by one, but at least it’s a free option and with an application that you have surely already used.
With Gas Station+
If Google Maps “manual” method fails, a much more complete option is to use the Gas Station+ application (in Google Play known as Gas Stations and Electrolineras). It is an application that is still in early access – that is to say in development – but which works very well.
Gas Station+ is an application focused only on gas stations and their prices, so the first thing you have to do is fill in a series of data according to your needs. you have to choose fuel type and maximum distance of your location in which you want to display the results.
The big difference with Google Maps is that Gas Station+ displays the list of nearby gas stations for your fuel type with the price clearly visiblein addition to the name and the distance that separates them from your current position.
By touching one of these service stations you will be able to obtain some additional information such as the address or the price of each type of fuel. A button is also included. Surfwhich opens the route from your current position to the gas station, on Google Maps.
Gas Station+ is a payment app that it costs 0.99$. It’s a small investment that, given today’s gas prices, may not take long to pay off if you’re an avid hunter for the best fuel prices.
