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.

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

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.

Have the Caltex app for same reason......

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.
