The new year is here!!!

Befor i start this post i must apologyse for not posting since last year as ive been unable to access the internet with technical difficulties from my service provider

Ideas

I was researching on pretol prices and looking around the web to see if there were any petrol pricing and find your nearest petrol station websites and a found a few, i think now that petrol is becomming so expensive these days that there has been an increase in this sort of thing.
It made me remember, the day befor new years eve me and a few mates were off to cardiff for new years and it took us ages to find a petrol station that had any petrol in it, so after a while of thinking about it i decided to go ahead with my idea about producing a mobile phone application that will find the nearest petrol station to my location and 1. tell me the price per litre of petrol and 2. to see if they actually had any in stock. i was looking around and here a few websites that search around the united kindom for petrol stations in different counties.


http://www.ufindus.com/petrol_stations
this website doesnt just find petrol stations in your local area but anything you want.

here is another website that does exactally the same thing as the first one.

http://www.petrolprices.com/
and here is another one which in my opinion is the best as it is really easy to use.

I found all these websites but nothing to do with petrol pricing for mobile phones so im guessing noone has made one yet. but using a route finder on a sat nav or on an iphone you will be able to find out but what about those people who dont own one of these gadgets?.... this is where i inted t to help those people out.

My next post will have a few rough drafts of my ideas and how i would plan it out.
