Drivers wanting to locate their nearest supermarket petrol stations and the latest fuel prices, can take advantage of a mobile app that helps them do exactly that.

And as all drivers look to save on fuel costs, then the even better news is that the innovative fuelGenie app is available for all drivers to download.

Simplicity is also key as the app can be easily downloaded from the Google Play store or the Apple App Store.

When opened it lets users find their nearest Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s petrol stations just by entering their postcode.

But that’s not all as it also allows users, which is available for both Android and Apple services, to see the latest fuel prices. These fuel prices are based on fuelGenie customer purchases at petrol stations, which in turn helps save them save at the pump.

Timely advice

No matter your reason for driving a vehicle, whether you are a small business, fleet operator or a private motorist, then keeping an eye on reducing fuel costs is more important than ever, especially so as fuel prices remain unstable and the cost-of-living crisis really takes hold.

For savvy individuals and businesses looking to reduce spending on fuel costs, then the fuelGenie petrol station finder app is an incredibly useful tool.

As well as being easy to download, it helps users make informed decisions as to where they should fill up their vehicle.

Additionally, recent updates provide even more card detail and invoice functionality for fuelGenie business account holders, making managing their accounts even easier than before.

Other ways to save

While the fuelGenie petrol station finder app is a great tool to reduce costs at the pump, there are extra ways that vehicle owners can save on fuel costs.

This is through regular and correct vehicle maintenance, together with driver education so that drivers are driving in the most efficient manner possible.

The fantastic aspect about this approach is that it can be at no, or very little, financial cost whatsoever, while possibly drastically reducing fuel consumption. What’s not to like?

One of the main causes for less mile-to-the-gallon are underinflated tyres. Staggeringly, it is thought that if all four tyres are underinflated by 10psi then fuel efficiency can reduce by up to 10% due to the greater drag being caused.

Regular tyre checks and maintenance can be easily overlooked, but those business and individuals who do so will end up paying for it in the long term, not least with the need to replace the tyres but because they are having to use more fuel.

It really is financially prudent for SMEs and fleet operators looking to reduce fuel costs, especially as the financial squeeze looks set to worsen, to consider introducing fuel cards.

Extra factors

Correct wheel alignment, plus regular vehicle servicing, are other ways to reduce fuel consumption.

Altering driving attitudes behind the wheel can also have a major positive benefit in using less fuel.
