Download the app and select the variables applicable to your car. These include the fuel type, whether diesel or petrol, your vehicle’s tank size and the rewards programme you belong to, and it calculates the discounts you can expect. The app can display the cost of a full tank or price per litre.
The petrol price is fixed, but the app shows fluctuations for the unregulated diesel price.
The app integrates a map with locations of various fuel stations, usually between a 10km and 50km radius, and then calculates the cost of driving to each service station.
Fuel stations subscribe to the app and provide all their details, including amenities, facilities, ATMs and restaurants, as well as load-shedding status, diesel prices and specials and promotions. However, as a new app many of its listed prices are still estimates for now, with only a few verified amounts.
