Keeping pace with the rise of the on-demand economy, 'WeFuel' is a new app that allows consumers to refuel on the go in a manner that is convenient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
WeFuel is a mobile application that can be used to request gasoline on the go. Consumers simply select their fuel of choice and their preferred payment option. In just 30 minutes, a WeFuel truck will arrive to refuel the appropriate vehicle. These tucks are Department of Transportation-approved and they only use Weights and Measures-approved meters to dispense fuel. The idea behind the service is to give consumers a more convenient way to refuel by removing the gas station from the process entirely.
The mobile refueling app is ideal for modern consumers who favor on-demand services such as Uber and Seamless.
