The basic app stays the same but a quick and easy search at the app stores would allow you to get more things from the website on your phone. that way people wanting the trip cost calculator could get it or the gas price heat map on there phone could get that add-on or on and on with really ANY features on the website then available on the app BUT being there own add-ons allows you to pick and choose whats on your phone while still leaving the origonal purpose and goal of the app (of finding cheep gas thing) easy to do

IESRT8's suggestion would be especially useful for excluding "members only" stations from the planned route of a trip. It would be expecially useful to be able to exclude multiple brands simultaneously.

There have been suggestions about allowing the user to choose routes, prices, brands, distances of stations off the route and now specific stations. Somebody should put all these into one grand plan.

Price and/or maximum distance irrelevant? Sort of like a list of tourist sites you want to stop at?
