hey everyone Lauren good here with the verge reporting from Silicon Valley and I'm here today to report that we have hit peak Silicon Valley you can now use an iPhone app to have gas delivered to your car rather than having to go to the trouble of going to a gas station the latest app in the App Store is called refuel and we decided to give me fuel a trial as you can see B fuel is not the only startup that is trying to disrupt gas let's go into the app and see what we can find the first thing to know about we fuel is that it's currently only servicing the California towns of Palo Alto and Menlo Park where we happen to be today it's interesting because anecdotally I think these towns have the highest concentration of Tesla's of anywhere I've ever seen but that's besides the point as you can see here regular fuel is going to cost 289 a gallon today you can also do a premium and we fuel says that that's based on average rates per zip code so it's dynamic it changes throughout the day or from day to day so let's request some gas I will never have been so relieved to have gotten gas right now at launch the company is offering this for basically free I think it's a penny just to get people using the service but otherwise it's going to cost you almost seven dollars and 50 cents plus the cost of gas the company also plans to introduce a $20 per month subscription service for a refuel which won't cover the cost of gas but will cover all of your service fees for an unlimited number of Phillips and they plan on equipping their customers with some type of electronic device that will let the company know when you've run out of fuel and they'll come by and refill up your car automatically so you don't even have to request it through the app so that's we fuel in a nutshell would you pay more than seven dollars to have gas delivered to your car leave your comments on our story at the verge calm and remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more awesome videos
