This release happens just in time for the Memorial Day Weekend rush to the coast, or anywhere else in Oregon where tourism is the resounding center of attraction.A PR representative for Mobio told BeachConnection.net the feature will include plenty of gas stations along Oregon’s coast.“Our goal is to focus on those use cases where mobile technology can add real, everyday value to the user,” said Marcia Kadanoff, VP Marketing of Mobio. “Naturally one of the most compelling cases is a scenario where the mobile phone user can actually save money by quickly referencing content on the mobile phone. With gas prices skyrocketing across the US, we hope that Mobio’s Cheap Gas will be a helpful tool for people who want to spend their hard earned cash on something other than filling up their vehicles. It’s a simple, convenient way to avoid overpaying at the pump this summer for everyone from the busy commuter to families getting away on vacation.”Example of Mobio's Cheap Gas appearance (courtesy Mobio)Mobio’s Cheap Gas widget allows users to find the lowest cost gas station near any location and even to filter search results by brand. That means that if a user prefers to fuel up at a specific chain, then they can set your preferences to always display their favorite stations first on the list. Once you tell your cellphone your street address, Cheap Gas pinpoints the most relevant results and displays a map for those stations located on the next corner – not merely within your zip code or somewhere within the city limits.
