From high prices to the oil crisis, it seems like all gas is doing these days is causing problems. Therefore, there has been no better time than the present to search for some alternative fueling methods. That’s where GreenFuel comes in. This app is the only one of its kind, and it simply and easily helps you locate all alternative fuel stations in the United States. You can use a variety of methods to search and browse all alternative fuel locations nearby, and the app presents you with options ranging from Compressed Natural Gas to Biodiesel to Liquefied Petroleum Gas (and more!). Furthermore, GreenFuel enables you to see what alternative fueling stations lie along any route, which can be particularly useful for long journeys on the road. Start doing your part for your wallet and the environment, and allow GreenFuel to give you some new ways to gas up.

As I have previously mentioned, I really enjoy apps that help people to be better organized. I myself am pretty challenged when it comes to organization and use any help that I get. 2Do Lite and Errands are two apps that are meant to help people like me keep better track of tasks, projects and of all things that need to get done.
