### 5/5 — Great update

*2026-11-01, version 3.2*

The map is missing 88 octane (unless All is selected) and the selection should probably allow multiple grade selections because I’d only like to see 87, 88, 89 on the map but they are all individually filtered. 

The road trip planner could be improved by allowing us to select from choices or choose a favorite brand like Maverik.

### 4/5 — Metric please!

*2026-10-18, version 3.1*

I would appreciate in settings to be able to chose distance in km instead of miles and gas consumption in litres per 100km instead of mpg.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2026-08-14, version 3.1*

So why is there no option to add gas stations that aren’t showing on the map? Not very helpful if you can’t add gas stations that have non ethanol gas so you’re driving several more miles out of your way. I saw a review stating the same problem 13 yrs ago! Deleting.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2026-05-15, version 3.1*

This is nothing but a phone book.  No octane or pricing info.

### 4/5 — Filter and other options

*2026-04-10, version 3.1*

Love it, but a few more features would be good.  Specifically, the ability to filter stations out of the list by various criteria (in my case, by the octane rating of the ethanol-free fuel they have available would be the most valuable filter), and it would be nice to see the prices of the ethanol free fuel each station sells in the app directly

### 1/5 — Lacking…

*2026-04-04, version 3.1*

This app was basically dead for a long time- held hostage by an incompetent developer. It’s more functional now- but still incredibly aggravating to use. You get a map view or you get a list view.  The list view provides some station detail and is arranged by ascending distance- but has no direct mapping function. The map view lays out stations relative to your location- but provides NO detail about the station itself.  So each view provides a critical detail in a completely separate and basically useless manner.

### 5/5 — Map filter needed for E0 87 octane

*2026-02-23, version 3.1*

The Map View needs a filter to I only show Regular grade Ethanol free.

When we click a station in the Map view, add a way for use to see the details of the station in addition to the mapping directions.

### 2/5 — Totally incomplete

*2026-02-09, version 3.0*

This app is a great idea but the execution is atrocious. The list is incomplete and appears to never be updated. There is a local gas station that has operated for decades and sells ethanol free fuel (the only one in the area that does) that isn’t on this list and there appears to be no mechanism by which someone could submit the new location. If the developer isn’t going to update the list, they should at least let others do so!

### 5/5 — Map filter needed for E0 87 octane

*2026-02-01*

I only want Regular grade Ethanol free and a filter to clear out the Premium only stations.

When in the Map view, if we click the station add a way to show us the details that would be in the list view for that station.

### 1/5 — no contact method

*2026-01-18, version 3.0*

no way to contact developer, website is shut down but domain is available if someone wants it! just trying to report a bad GPS for a station near me. could be useful but bad data equals FAIL.
