How can you save money in these times of rising fuel prices? It starts with cheap fuel. These tips will show you where you can.
The prices of petrol and diesel are skyrocketing and even for LPG you seem to be paying the top price these days. AutoWeek comes to the rescue and looked for apps that provide insight into the gas prices you can expect. The easiest way to find the mentioned apps with tips for cheap fueling is in your app store.
ANWB On the way
The largest association in the Netherlands has the En route app, which has many options. This way you can see traffic jams and you can park with it (via Yellowbrick). It also provides an overview of charging stations and filling stations with prices. So you can easily find gas stations and refuel there cheaply. The app clearly indicates with colors what price the station has for the fuel you select.
Petrol-Jip
This app is very simple and shows the petrol price. It is based on the national average and then shows what you pay for a tank more or less than the national average (you can indicate the size of your tank). Very easy and with a good overview.

DirectLease TankService
Are you often on the road? Then you sometimes want more than cheap fuel. You will find the fuel of your choice indicated on a map (after your selection) with a dot that indicates whether it is expensive from green via orange to red. You can also select sandwiches, trailer rental or a car wash (at a gas station, that is). Handy!
United Consumers Fuel Card
At United Consumers you can save with a separate fuel card at about 600 (manned) gas stations in the country for an extra discount on the standard prices. Especially if you drive more often, the advantage can increase considerably over time. So it’s not an app, but it does help you save. So request the card!
Waze
If you don’t want to stuff your smartphone with an extra application especially for savings at the pump, the navigation app Waze offers a solution. In Waze, click the search bar and then the gas pump icon. A card with prices is displayed. Small niggle: These seem to be updated less often than on specialized apps, but the date is marked with the prices. The little perk of Waze: As you drive to your destination, you can search for a station on your route and select it based on the prices charged and the diversion caused. Please note: the first result is often an advertisement.
