I added a fuel price app to Android Auto, and I stopped overpaying at the first station I see

I recently started using an app called Fuelio on my Android Auto system, which helps me find cheaper gas stations by comparing prices at nearby locations. Gas prices can vary significantly even between stations a few miles apart, so it's easy to overpay when filling up without realizing it. For example, a 12-gallon fill-up at a 30-cent difference would cost an additional $3.60.

The app relies on crowdsourced gas prices from other drivers, which can be both an advantage and a limitation - prices are updated by real users but may not be as accurate or available in all areas. Once installed, Fuelio connects to your vehicle information and allows you to adjust the search radius for nearby stations. When opened in Android Auto, it displays nearby gas stations either on a map or in a list format, showing both the price and distance.

This makes it easy to quickly compare options while driving. The basic gas price comparison features are free, with optional Premium subscription features for longer trips. Overall, Fuelio is a simple and effective tool for finding more affordable gas stations during my regular fill-ups.
