## What is Worth the Drive??

Cheap gas three miles away isn't cheap.

Worth the Drive? answers one question: which gas station actually costs you the least, once the drive to get there is priced in? It ranks every station near you by the true cost of the stop — not just the number on the sign. It saves you money and shows you how much you save, without any subscriptions, data harvesting, in-app purchases, logins, or any unnecessary features. Buy it once and save forever. 

WHAT GOES INTO THE MATH

• The fill-up itself — pump price times the gallons you actually need
• The fuel you burn driving there and back, at your car's real MPG
• Vehicle wear — tires, oil, depreciation, per mile
• Your time, optionally, at whatever your hour is worth
• Your rewards, subtracted — credit card percentage back and loyalty cents per gallon, stacked the way the pump does it

The cheapest total wins. Tap any station to see the full breakdown, line by line.

ON YOUR WAY, OR A DEDICATED TRIP

Getting gas as its own errand means the whole round trip counts against each station. Already heading somewhere? Pick your destination and each station is charged only the extra driving it costs you. Stations along your route come out nearly free.

YOUR GARAGE

Keep every car you drive, each with its own MPG, tank size, and octane range. A premium engine won't be quoted regular prices, and a regular-only car won't pay for premium. Switch cars with one tap and every price, ranking, and recommendation follows.

Don't know your MPG? Look it up from the EPA's database by year, make, and model — or measure it for real. Log your fill-ups and Worth the Drive derives your true, real-world MPG between full tanks. Most cars don't hit their sticker number, and the difference changes which station wins.

MEMBERSHIPS THAT ACTUALLY APPLY

Warehouse club stations are only a deal if you're a member, so they're ranked last unless you say you are — and the app accounts for the line at the pump when you're counting your time. Add your gas credit cards and loyalty programs, scoped to the brands that honor them, and watch the ranking change.

KNOW WHAT YOU SAVED

Every time you take the app's advice, the savings are logged. See your lifetime total, your best single stop, and how many times over the app has paid for itself.

PRICES YOU CAN FIX

Prices come from Google's fuel data, and no source covers every pump. When a station has no price, the app says so instead of guessing. See a wrong number? Tap it and correct it — your price always wins, and it sticks.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No account. No sign-in. No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your location is used while you're in the app to find stations and measure detours, and nothing else. Your cars, fill-ups, and savings never leave your iPhone.

Requires location access to find nearby stations. Fuel prices are US-only.
