Consumer Benefits

With ZipGasSM, consumers can find the most attractive prices and/or their favorite brands without having to waste time and gasoline driving around.  And there is no charge to consumers for this valuable information!

Via ZipGas, consumers can compare current gasoline prices, obtain a guarantee to “lock-in” that price, find convenient stations and favorite brands, review various other merchandise and services that stations provide, and obtain information on special promotions.  While traveling, consumers can also search for stations that provide repairs, towing, ATMs, and other services that are important on the road.  As the availability of navigation systems increases, motorists will have even more access to ZipGas from their vehicle. 

Operators of delivery fleets can reduce vehicle operating expenses significantly.  Drivers can check gas prices either directly (through wireless laptops or cell phones) or by contacting their company dispatcher.

On average, over 27 million gasoline purchases are made every day.  6 to 7 million of these are made on the basis of price alone.  Few consumer products attract as much attention and concern as gasoline prices, and high gasoline prices are even blamed for contributing to a slowdown in the U.S. economy.  ZipGas will improve the efficiency of buying gasoline.
