Mobile app aims to help motorists in French fuel crisis
A mobile app is helping motorists in France identify which petrol stations have run out of fuel, according to the Foreign Office.
The website Mon-essence.fr, set up to help drivers find the cheapest petrol, has added details of which stations have run dry following the barricading of workers by oil refineries in France.
The Foreign Office said the app, currently only available in the UK on Google Play, had been developed using data from the website’s two million users.
Around of fifth of France’s petrol stations have pumps that have run dry due to the latest crisis, caused by workers angered at the government’s proposed changes to labour laws.
The AA said this week that it has rescued British drivers who have run out of fuel due to the lack of availability.
