Features & Capabilities

The Alternative Fueling Stations Locator helps you find fueling stations that offer electricity, natural gas, biodiesel, E85, propane, or hydrogen. Use your current location or enter a custom location to find the 20 closest stations within a 30-mile radius; view results on a map or as a list, and adjust filters to fit your needs.

Select a station from the map or list to view details including address, hours, payment types, access type, services, and equipment. The app draws data from the U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center, which maintains a comprehensive database of more than 15,000 stations nationwide.

User Reviews

Overall, users find Alternative Fueling Stations very useful for locating fuel stations across the USA and planning trips, with a strong, user-friendly interface and a comparatively comprehensive database. Positive reviews highlight its usefulness for E85, CNG, and biodiesel fueling, and its ability to provide directions and business information. However, recurring concerns include outdated and incomplete data (stale listings, missing stations, incorrect fuel availability), lack of real-time updates and visibility (no live status, limited geographic scope), no pump price information, and mislabeling of EV charging stations or unsupported fuels. Users want price data, live availability, and broader fuel coverage.

Pros

Very useful for locating alternative fueling stations (e.g., E85, CNG, biodiesel) and getting directions.
Large, comprehensive database that feels more complete than competing apps.
Superb, precise interface with good filters and easy-to-use design.
Useful for travel planning across the USA, with access to station details and business information.

Cons

Data accuracy and completeness issues: outdated data, missing stations, and incorrect fuel availability (e.g., E85 listings that aren’t actually available).
Lack of real-time updates and limited map/area visibility: no live status, difficulty seeing stations further away, and inconsistent availability.
No pump price information: prices at the pump are not shown, which reduces usefulness for budgeting and planning.
Inaccurate labeling and limited coverage of fuels: EV charging stations mislabeling (public vs. private) and missing fuels like renewable diesel (R20/R99).
Navigation limitations: relies solely on Google Maps with no option to switch maps or improve routing.

Recent reviews

This app would be really great if it mimicked the website, but it doesn’t. The options on the app are missing renewable diesel fuels, RD fuels. Please fix!

I have been using this app for a few years and have always loved it and only in about the past year have I noticed that some flex fuel stations are not showing up particularly the new circle Ks in TN but other than that has helped me tremendously
