MapQuest Launches New Gasoline Prices Portal for U.S.
MapQuest Launches New Gasoline Price Info Portal
From gasoline to diesel to a variety of alternative fuels.
Data from several sources including Oil Information Pricing Service and U.S. Department of Energy.
Finding gas stations online is one of the many place searches that users can perform with MapQuest’s renowned and comprehensive Points of Interest database, which contains more than 15 million places. Utilizing pricing data from Oil Pricing Information Service (OPIS), a leading provider of petroleum spot, rack and retail news and pricing information, which is updated up to seven times per day, the site allows users to easily find fuel stations, get maps and directions and check gas prices all in one place.
With information from the Department of Energy, consumers will also be able to find listings for alternative fuel stations, including diesel, biodiesel, CNG (compressed natural gas), E-85, electric, hydrogen, LPG (propane) and LNG (liquefied natural gas). The site will also include links and information about alternative fueled vehicles to help consumers become knowledgeable about this emerging market.
