Question for frugal petrol buyers

Post by Freeranger »

If there was a phone app that could tell you where in your area to buy the cheapest petrol, would you be willing to pay about £5 for it? My OH writes apps for android phones, and wants to know whether this would be worth the development time. Is it a go-er, do you think?

No, because......
I have a cheapo basic phone which won't download apps, £5 per month PAYG.
I buy my petrol from supermarkets, which are usually the cheapest anyway.
I would not go out of my way to drive across town to save a few pennies.
I don't do a lot of miles, a tank lasts me average six weeks if I stay local.
