So, it has come to this. A new app launched this week which promises to drive a gas truck to you in order to fill up your car — wherever you happen to be. The app, called WeFuel, works by installing a device inside your car that simultaneously tracks your location and your gas levels. When you get low, a gas truck will drive to your location and top you off.
Oh yeah, on its website the company touts this service as green. And no, this is not a joke app.
"WeFuel isn’t just more convenient for you, it’s more sustainable for the planet," the company asserts. "And time spent reading the meter is time not spent reading to your kids. With WeFuel, getting gas is finally something to get pumped about. Because with us, getting gas is not just just filling. It’s fulfilling."
Wut.
At present, CBS 5 reports that WeFeul only services Palo Alto and Menlo Park (because: of course). The service costs $7.49 per delivery, plus whatever the local cost of gas happens to be where you are.
