Do You Want Prepaid Gas With That Lease?
Gas prices are creeping upward nationally, but for car buyers who are opting to go the leasing route, worrying about them might soon be a thing of the past. On average, a year’s worth of gas on a three-year lease can account for $6,000 in gas costs, and that’s where Super Gas Me comes in.
The recently developed mobile app preloads the gas expense into a lease contract, and helps users save 20% at the pump. The platform, according to the video posted below, connects car factories, dealerships, gas stations and customers, tracks gas-consumption behavior, and suggests what gas station is closest and cheapest.
Users don’t even have to whip out their plastic: All they have to do is scan their smartphone, and move on down the road. Using GPS, Super Gas Me can advertise in-store products, and sell targeted ads for said products.
The video suggests asking for Super Gas Me “the next time you buy a Honda,” but it isn’t clear whether the app is actually being used by any automakers yet, and an inquiry made to Super Gas Me’s founder Yonathan Faber went unanswered.
