Lauren Goode wrote about a service that aims to be the Uber for filling up your car’s tank:

• Users of WeFuel use an app to point to the location of their car.
• The service then dispatches a truck in 30 minutes to fill your car up with either regular or premium petrol.
• As long as the car’s tank is unlocked users don’t have to be there for the delivery.
• It costs $7.49 per refill in addition to the price of fuel which is calculated daily for specific zip codes.
• Plans for a $19.99 monthly subscription which allows unlimited refuels are in the works.
• Safety is paramount. The fuel is delivered in a hazmat truck. Your car will only be refueled if it’s in an uncovered space. And the person doing the refueling will take out a fire extinguisher before doing so.
