BP fuel locator app - iPhone
« on: February 23, 2013, 06:14:57 PM »
When I'm touring - I like my bike bike to drink her usual top shelf BP Ultimate ...(Petrol these days NOT diesel     :p )


This app lets me easily find a BP and tells me what services it offers - i.e. location and directions to get there, contact details, 24hr, wild bean cafe, showers, and what flavours are available on the bowsers.


Pretty handy really... click the below link for a squizz.


https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/bp-locator/id391322709?mt=8






PS - pls put in the heading what type of app it is, and what platform it is for, for quick reference (i.e. - GPS navigation - Android) etc.


Cheers, Diesel

Mine's not fussy........as long as it's 91 RON..........it's Caltex at the moment as that's all we have in town.

I use that despised Shell 91 and get the same economy as everyone else.  And no pinging etc.  And Coles insist I use their (current) 8c discount vouchers, which can save $2 on a near-empty tank.  Not much, but it's better in my pocket than an international conglomerate's.
And I don't need an app.  I just wheel into the servo nearest to where the light starts flashing when I'm on a trip.   :p
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

I'm with you Biggles, I dont need no ithingy to tell me where a fuel stop is as you can usualy find one on your side of the road....

I use what ever is the cheapest in a convenient radius, or what ever is around when fuel is needed.

BP in my area is usually way more expensive than the other servos

Google maps/navigator on my Android devices will show all fuel stations around you, it comes with the device and works well.

Same here when I need to top up when away from home........Coles or Woolworths if I have vouchers.....

Umm thanks for the fuel input guys - but I think all this belongs in the "which fuel do you prefer" thread - this one is only for interestings apps - will move later.

Thanks Diesel.
I use these apps when I'm planning a long ride to see what fuel stations exist along the way.
Once on the road I use whatever is convenient.
