Normally, the most economical day to fill the tank is the Monday. On the other hand, the most expensive days to refuel are those that come with the weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Well, beware, there is a very simple method, and without downloading anything unrelated to the application itself, as you can see.
How to do it
Now this task can be fulfilled much more easily with the help of Google Maps, which shows the gas stations closest to your location or to the point you have selected and lets check your price.
The steps to follow are simple. Just have to open the app of Google Maps and at the top of the search engine write the word gas stations or with the button explore access the horizontal list of services offered by the application. Among them we find Gas stations, along with an icon of a pump. We click there.
At that time, the nearest service stations and the prices per liter of unleaded 95 and diesel, the main fuels used by the population, will appear. That’s when, by clicking on the button, a carousel will automatically appear at the bottom of the screen with all the available options. Each of these new ‘pins’ will display, in addition to the pump icon, a legend with the name of each gas station and the current price per liter made out of fuel.
You will find all the information of the gas stations
Of course, once one of them has been chosen, Google Maps offers the usual navigation to the destination as with any other place. And, as always, by clicking on any of these locations you will be able to see all the available information about the place: address, hours, photos or the latest user reviews. Also, you can check a influx graph that will allow you to find the ideal time of day to refuel without having to wait in line.
And in the unlikely event that you find yourself in an unknown area and need to refuel urgently, you can continue planning a quick route to the nearest station, avoiding traffic jams or even red lights that go on red longer than necessary.
In addition, there are a number of factors that affect the difference in prices between one station and another. The first is usually the staff, which in low-cost companies is either non-existent or consists of one or two employees. The second is the offer of complementary servicesand it is that in the standard ones it is normal that there is food, cafeteria, press, etc.
