New way for customers to update gas prices from their cell phone

  • New way for customers to update gas prices from their cell phone

    I love my Droid phone. I use it off and on all day and I’m always looking for new reasons to use applications on it. That’s why I was pleasantly surprised this morning to see an important update to my Where application. The Where app is a location-based mobile platform that allows you to see important information about your location like local restaurants, movies, traffic and weather. I’ve been using it to lookup local gas prices. According to past press releases, Where receives gas price information from Garmin, who receives gas price information from OPIS, as well as GasBuddy.com, another OPIS partner.

    The latest update this morning allows the Droid user to report an updated gas price. Think gasbuddy.com, but from a Droid-specific application. It’s yet another way for consumers to report gas prices they see on the street and feel like they’re contributing to the community.

    There are well over 25,000 active accounts for Where, and recent reviews in the Android Market include:

    “Everything in 1 app. It’s awesome and quick…this app should get an award.”

    “Far and away the best app on the Market right now!”

    The Where app is also available for the BlackBerry, Palm Pre, and iPhone.

    Fuel Managers would do well to keep track of the prices that are being reported for their stores on Where. If they see an inaccurate report, an update is a simple click away.
