Hi all - BMW!
 
Hi everyone. Just joined! Live in the bay area and drive a BMW X3.

Related: I'm working on a mobile fuel delivery system. Don't know if this is the right place for it, but would love to hear everyone's thoughts about what you all think of a service that can refuel your vehicle whenever you need it.

Look forward to hearing and learning from everyone here!

Hello and welcome. A service that can refuel your vehicle whenever you need it? Explain more. I've never found visiting a petrol station difficult, but maybe there's a demand somewhere for such service?

I can see it as a premium service for people that don't want to take the time out of their day to fill up, but those people might already have assistants and interns for that;).

So essentially a fuel delivery service that can deliver various types of fuel to you.

What we envision is a network of fuel delivery services to provide fuel to you while you work, or sleep - having to never stop by a station ever again. We would provide the same prices as a station, but with the added convenience of the fuel coming to you, along with some bonus services that can be requested.

I have a form here to help us understand how people would use the service - it helps us think about all of the risks and challenges associated with building a service like this. It would be great if you all could fill out the form: https://ashv-2017.typeform.com/to/yJXjf9

I look forward to hearing all your thoughts.

I cant imagine there being a huge profit margin if you're having to drive about fueling your own vehicle too, unless you're getting the fuel extremely cheap. To me, 6-7 minutes at the pump every few weeks has never been a chore to be honest, however it could work for commercial companies that have several vehicles and want to start the working day with full tanks, a well known delivery company with several small vans for example.

I remember a company tried this years ago in some major metro areas; Texas stands out in my mind as one of the states it was operating in, but I could be completely wrong. It might be worth doing a little research and see what ever happened to them.
