Where the data comes from

Two sources, working together

Source 1

Open map data

Every station and charger on the map is loaded live from OpenStreetMap — a real, community-maintained map of the world. Real locations are there from the very first visit, everywhere, with no waiting for someone to add them.

Source 2

Driver reports

On top of that base map, signed-in drivers can add what only a real visit can tell you: whether there's fuel in stock, how long the queue is, and what they thought of the place. Sign in with Google only when you want to contribute.

What's real

We only show what we actually know

Where a station has live reports, you see them. Where it doesn't, Refuelia says so instead of guessing. Prices appear only when a driver or a verified source reports them, always with the time they were seen. Exact fuel quantities are never shown, because no station has a live stock feed connected.

The trust problem

Crowdsourced data is only useful if you know how old it is

The biggest failure of a driver-updated map is arriving somewhere based on a report that stopped being true hours ago. So every report carries three things: when it was made, whether more than one driver confirms it, and how fresh it is right now.

A station confirmed a few minutes ago by several drivers shows bright and confident. An old, unconfirmed report fades — so you can see at a glance how much to trust it.

The freshness clock — the newer this is, the brighter the pin looks on the map.

Three other drivers saw the same thing — one report can be wrong, three agreeing rarely is.

What we track

What Refuelia tracks for each station

Location & basics

Real position, brand and operator, address and opening hours — straight from OpenStreetMap.

Fuel & charging

Which fuels a station sells — petrol, diesel, LPG, CNG — and for EVs the connector type, power and number of ports.

Live status

Fuel in stock, queue length, whether it's open now, and driver reviews — each stamped with the time it was last seen.

No friction

No app. No login. Open the browser and it just works
