New features added to the Petrol Prices Melbourne web app.
Since the web app was designed to log submitted prices, the prices are now shown on two maps. A map showing nearby petrol stations and a map showing all submitted petrol stations.
The reason the maps have been made available is if you know a petrol station has a better price, and it is conveniently located to you, then you can save money on your petrol purchases.
Markers for petrol stations on the maps are coloured coded to make it easy to find the best prices. The map showing nearby petrol stations shows details for up to 10 petrol stations. Included is a handy calculation showing the cost for 50 litres of petrol plus the estimated cost of petrol for a return trip. Obviously it's even better if the cheaper petrol station is already on your way.
Petrol prices are entered by the crowd which means you and me. If we enter prices the maps become useful resources and that will help show the maps useful.
Often we buy petrol from the same petrol stations. I was quite surprised recently to find Shell/Coles Express prices, even with the discount voucher was more expensive than other nearby service stations offering better prices with no discount.
The Petrol Prices Melbourne web app is located at www.PetrolPricesMelbourne.com.au. The maps are available via the menu, but can be found at www.PetrolPricesMelbourne.com.au/map/mobile for the nearby petrol stations and www.PetrolPricesMelbourne.com.au/map/, for the map of all petrol stations submitted.
