Phone app guide
Stations, routes and price alerts
Compare nearby stations
- Open Map → Nearby and check the fuel grade and search radius.
- Use your location or search for a place. Open Stations for the list.
- Choose the available sort, such as price or estimated total cost.
- Open a station to check its latest observation time, fuel prices, history and directions before leaving.
A unit price is not a total purchase cost. A lower pump price may be offset by the drive needed to reach it. Estimates depend on the vehicle and comparison inputs. Prices can change after an observation; an unavailable price is not zero. Straight-line distance and a driving route can also differ.
Use the favorite action on a station to save it. Favoriting is separate from setting a notification. If local station prices are unavailable, the app may show regional information instead; it is not a specific station quote.
Compare fuel stops along a route
Open Map → Route. Choose the origin and destination from search results, current location or saved places when offered. Check the active vehicle and planned fuel volume, then compare. Optional costs can account for detour time and running costs; check the units before entering them.
When advanced planning is available, provide current fuel, tank capacity, consumption, reserve and refill target. Current fuel is a temporary planning input, not a measured tank gauge. The result can include required fuel stops and estimated fuel remaining. Availability depends on route-service capability and usable price data.
Review the recommended stop, extra driving, price age and savings assumptions. Then use the navigation action if you want to proceed. Google Maps can receive supported ordered stops; Waze receives the next stop. Litro retains a confirmed plan, and confirming the corresponding fill-up can advance its next stage. Estimated savings are not recorded as achieved merely by comparing a route.
If there is no usable recommendation, check endpoints and inputs or try again later. A lack of recent prices is different from insufficient driving range.
Enter optional time cost in the displayed currency per hour, and running cost in cents per kilometre. Results show the comparison volume, recent price basis and extra driving. Edit search preserves your inputs. A multi-stop result summarizes the planned stops, fuel added and arrival reserve.
Understand the alerts
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Station price alert | Tracks one selected station and its supported fuel grades |
| Alerts near My Places, when shown | Configures separate price-watch areas around saved places |
| Driving alerts | Configured under Litro in your car; separate from a stationary station subscription |
| Trip and parking notifications | Concern recording/review or a reminder you set, not station prices |
To track a station, open its details and choose Set price alert. One station can be tracked at a time; selecting another requires confirming the switch. Price alerts can concern increases or decreases across supported grades. At most two station price notifications are scheduled in a rolling 24-hour period, so not every change produces a notification. OS settings and delivery availability also matter. Use Settings → Manage alerts to inspect or stop tracking.
If Alerts near My Places is available, choose the place and radius, then enable it explicitly. Those area controls are separate from the single station alert and its all-grades policy. Only a coarse area, rather than the saved name and precise address, is sent for this feature. Editing a saved place can require updating its alert area. Do not interpret the station count as a count of every notification feature.
Price outlook and corrections
Price outlook presents available regional observations and, when supported by enough evidence, an outlook for the next 24–48 hours. No forecast available means no predictive direction is being published. It does not mean prices are guaranteed to stay unchanged. Open the methodology for context.
For an incorrect price, use the price-report action in that station's details. Check station, grade, price and displayed unit before submitting. Station status corrections and missing-station proposals have separate controls when available. They are contributions for processing, not a promise of immediate publication.
Community price sharing sends station, fuel, price and approximate time; it does not share your fill-up volume, total, vehicle, odometer or note. Review existing contributions and any available retraction action in Data & backup. Saving a personal fill-up and agreeing to share a price are separate actions.
