FIND THE CHEAPEST FUEL NEAR YOU
The free-to-use MyTank app is available for download on all types of smartphones at your app store. Speaking to Business Tech, the app’s creator, Capetonian Rob Gardner, explained he simply wanted an app to find the cheapest fuel possible.

Gardner explains the app was initially developed only to check the price of diesel, as diesel is unregulated and can differ hugely between stations. Even though petrol is more consistently priced across the board, MyTank’s fuel rewards section also means that the app has value to petrol users, too, as some rewards programmes can be hard to decode.
DOWNLOAD AND SET YOUR PARAMETERS
It’s so easy to use the MyTank app to find the cheapest fuel near you. Simply download, input your vehicle’s tank size, fuel type, the rewards program you use and you’re good to go.

MyTank then ranks the cheapest fuel stations near you, showing how much value you would earn from rewards programmes at each station. That way you’ll be able to work out how much you’re getting back in fuel rewards and whether it’s even worth traveling out of your way to use that station.
