Help from technology – Technology, therefore, comes to the rescue of the wallet, in a period in which getting petrol risks being a real drain. The theme is at the center of the political debate, with i managers who reiterated that they “have no responsibility for the increases” and who have in any case decided to “freeze the strike” after a confrontation with the government. In any case, the search for a better price than others is not an impossible treasure hunt. Indeed, there are some apps, which allow you to locate the closest distributors that guarantee the best possible cost for petrol and diesel.
The best known – PricesBenzina has been one of the best-known apps for several years, allowing you to conveniently follow and check the updated prices reported by users on the road. Born from the collaboration between Federconsumatori, Adusbef, Adiconsum, it also allows you to report a new vending machine by following the simple instructions provided in the app, also convenient for the “navigate” function that allows you to get to the vending machine using the map and GPS on your smartphone. In fact, the cheapest petrol station is displayed on the map and to find it, just filter by type of fuel and activate the GPS to locate the closest service.
Other Apps – But not only. There are also other applications which, in general, require geolocation to be activated in order to show the closest distributors in real time. Similar apps are “Fuelio”, “iFuel” and “Waze”. Not only that: other apps that allow you to find and compare fuel prices there are also “Prices Petrol”, “Gasoline Now”, “GasLow”, “Gaspal”, “Fuel Flash” and “Save on petrol prices”, available both for both Android smartphones and iPhones.
Ministry website – Finally there is also the possibility to consult “Observation of fuel prices“, an institutional site, managed by the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy, which shows in real time the sale prices of fuel actually charged at distribution plants throughout the country.
