PetrolPrices.com New ‘Petrol Tweets’ App
2 Comments | Add Comment | Blog entry posted 2nd April, 2012
Today we officially launch a new web app for PetrolPrices.com; a service that integrates with Twitter and Open MapQuest called Petrol Tweets that was inspired by the #uksnow Map.
Petrol Tweets collects tweets with the hash-tag #ukpetrol or #petrol and adds it to our page allow. You can comment on petrol in your area using either your post code by adding it to the message box or geo-tagging (typically on a phone) your tweet. If you add your post code then Petrol Tweets will work out where you are and plot you on the map, or if you geo-tag your location to your tweet then it will find exactly where you are and add you to our map exactly where you are when you made the tweet. Find out more how to use it by visiting our how to guide.
You can discuss anything; be it prices, offers or current affairs.
It also allows a friendly way for those users without Twitter to see what people are saying about petrol right now rather than waiting to hear about it on the news.
This app is currently in a beta stage, which means that it’s good enough for people to use but there might be some issues that occur so please bear with us if it does go wrong; you can help us make the app better by reporting any issues (contact details to follow).
We hope this web app will help people find cheap fuel and start even more discussions with regards to petrol prices in the UK.
If you have any questions regarding the Petrol Tweets app, suggestions or bugs then please contact us via the comments form, our Get Statisfaction account or our other methods listed on our contact us page.

Who lobbies for the poor motorist I see in this morning's mail the price of Brent crude is $112 dollars a barrel. My local Shell dealer raised the price of diesel to £1.449 when it went up to $125/barrel. This was done quite quickly. He's fallen asleep now he's paying less. Just like the bankers, rogue traders.
