I think it would be really cool to be able to setup my home area and then my work area and or Im here now and Im traveling to X X could be grandmas house... Anyways the idea would be you that you could say hay I need gas along my route to work where is the cheapest place. most people travel the same route and could buy from 100's of stations, but scanning while your driving on the map to find the cheapest station is a pain...and a little crazy when your driving, maybe even have some rules as to which stations I like or wont buy from.. so it filers those out, then give me a way to scan and view the list within the map, so station 1 is cheapest and its located here, next cheapest is station #2 and its here ... both of these could be anywhere along my route. Maybe even having an option to say, ya that station sucks so dont show me it again, as getting in and out is a pain or its scary ETC we all have our reasons.

For me I travel 50 miles each way, I can make this trip a few tImes on a tank but if I could stop and save a few bucks a trip it would really pay off, especially the guys with large tanks. Think about a semi truck driver with 100 gallon tanks. .10 a gallon is $10 do that daily and thats a few hundred a month.

I saw the Im planning a trip but it wants to know how much gas you have.. well if I have enough to get to work it wont tell or show me the cheapest place, it would be so easy to modify that portion.

Oh and it needs to be on the phone apps.

Good idea, but I just check before I leave for the cheapest pumps along my route. Usually its the same station.
