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 However, recurring concerns include outdated and incomplete data (stale listings, missing stations, incorrect fuel availability), lack of real-time updates and visibility (no live status, limited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Data accuracy and completeness issues: outdated data, missing stations, and incorrect fuel availability (e.g., E85 listings that aren’t actually available).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.

I use this app constantly to find ethanol fueling stations for my flex fuel race car. Has saved me countless times.

We use this app trying to save money and we have gone to seven stations on. The 101 and the 5 that they said has E 85 and they don’t. They need to have a button where you can report a problem or modify it to show accurate information. For all you know the station could’ve had E85 10 years ago, but you would never know through their app.
