So you can save on the price of gasoline from your iPhone

Summer not only has high temperatures. We've had runaway prices for several months. The ones that have risen the most have been fuel prices. At this time they always go up, but now filling the car's tank is around 100 euros on average. In this time of long journeys, it is not an incentive but it is what we have to deal with. There are no tricks to save when filling the tank but if we can not spend so much if we look well for gas stations and we take advantage of certain offers. To do this we are going to use the device that we always have in our pocket: The iPhone.

With the iPhone we can search for gas stations where gasoline is cheaper

Different reasons have led energy products to reach prohibitive values. Filling the tank of the car with gasoline (regardless of whether it is diesel or not) has almost become a luxury item. But there are those who need the car every day to get around and have no choice but to spend the money they ask for at gas stations. We are also in the summer season, where the car is one of those chosen for travel. For this reason, we are going to try to help save a few euros with a series of applications and places to find the cheapest price. 

If you have a iPhone, you will be able to download some of the applications that are in the App Store to be able to find those gas stations that offer gasoline at a slightly lower price than others. With this we can save a little money on the luxury task that is to fill the tank. In addition, we can also help Google Maps. The iPhone can become a powerful ally (if it wasn't already). 

Let's start with the applications

All applications have in common that track the price of gasoline from different gas stations and in this way we can find which one has the best price or which one is closer in case of a rush that always comes in handy.

gasofapp

On a map we are shown the gas stations and in each of them we are given the price of each of the fuels. We can save the ones that interest us the most and create a list of favorites. With that, whenever we want to access one of them, we will do it faster. It is very useful because the price is very volatile and what was "cheap" yesterday has become the most expensive. We can also filter the results by type of gasoline. Best of all, it's Delivery to Italy takes one or two business days. You can download it from App Store how could it be less.

Gas Stations Spain

It is basically the same application as the previous one. That is, it locates gas stations and prices on a map. We filter by results that most interest us and we can create a list of favorites. But it differs in something very important, it is that in this application the users who have it installed can review and leave comments about the gas stations, something that can help a lot to find prices in real time. Also, to get to them we can choose between Google Maps or the Apple application. Free on the App Store.

There is another application in the App Store called Gas Stations of Spain. We have chosen the former because he has better grades of users.

GasAll

The best star rating app on the App Store. This application does the same as the others, but with a good incentive: Seamlessly integrates with Apple Watch features, so you can search for gas stations with the best price from your wrist without using the iPhone. Another advantage over other competing applications is the promotions system it has. We can benefit from special promotions at participating service stations. We only have to enter the "Promotions" section and check the available discounts and at which service station you can benefit from them. All this thanks to the fact that they have been using the application since 2008. Seniority is a degree. If you want to remove the advertising you will have to pay €0,99.

Don't use apps. Use Google Maps

If your thing is not wanting to have applications installed on the iPhone, you can always use web services or in this case, much better, Google Maps. That will also help us get to the gas station in question. The best thing is to have your own application downloaded, because everything is faster, but if you don't want to, you can use the Web, as we said.

Since last year, it is possible to configure the application in such a way that it shows the location of gas stations and their prices. In this way we will not only know the location of the closest gas station to our vehicle at that moment, but it will also tell us the fuel prices. Of course more information, such as schedule and possibility of contacting the station. And even, opinions of other users. 

The way to do it is easy, we just open Google Maps, see our location and we are looking around our brand. We can do searches. We put “gas stations” in the search engine and it will mark all those that have been registered. Fast and easy.

Finally, one of the applications with which you can save money when refueling can be recommended: waylet. It is limited because it belongs to the Repsol group, but it allows you to choose discounts that are generated as you use the application, in addition to having the Government discount integrated into the price of gasoline. The more you use it the better, more points and bigger discounts. They usually have promotions in summer that help a lot. It is free and does not require additional means of payment. Make sure you set it up right at first and everything will go smoothly. By the way, there are some tricks to earn discounts, such as:

• Get coupons for Amazon purchases: If you are going to buy at Amazon, make sure you buy a card for the value of the purchase through Waylet and you will get a percentage of that money in gasoline.
• Coupons at Decathlon. It's the same strategy but if you buy at the sports store.

We hope we have helped you a little and although there is no magic, but if it can help you save a few eurillos.
