One of the very appealing features of MyCarBudget is that you get your very own Shell, Caltex or BP Fuel Card. MyCarBudget gives you the choice of BP, Shell or Caltex. Along with your fuel card you also get a flat 6c per litre discount on every litre of fuel that you purchase (limited to unleaded and diesel fuels).
No more having to worry about Woolworths or Coles discount voucher dockets, your fuel card gives you a discount every time you use it.
Now one of the challenges in selecting or using a fuel card, is knowing where the service stations are located. Luckily with the proliferation of smart phones into Australia over the past 2 years, applications have started to pop up that can assist. We have sourced one of them and are making enquiries about a few others.
The BP Locator iPhone Application.
Find your nearest Australian BP Service Station quickly and easily on your iPhone.
Features include:
-
A Nearby search function finds BP Service Stations within a 20km radius based on your current location
-
Search by suburb to find locations in a selected suburb
-
Refine your search by BP products, services and fuels
-
Get directions and contact details for all BP Service Stations in Australia
You can now access the BP Locator.
I have managed to also source iPhone Apps for both Shell and Caltex. Note that the Shell app is android only and only applies to the US market at the moment. The Caltex app is for the iPhone however it only works in Singapore, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Thailand.
If you live in Victoria and are looking for an application that will give you the cheapest fuel in your area, then simply visit the RACV mobile site to access fuel prices. These prices are fed to them via motormouth.com.au. The only issue with this site is that it doesn't include Shell.
If you know of any other iPhone, Android or WP7 Apps that you think we should mention on our blog, them please let us know.
