TCS: Swiss gasoline prices in daily comparison
ADVICE Two weeks after the launch of the gasoline price radar, which the Touring Club Switzerland developed with the involvement of the public, this platform is enjoying broad support from motorists.
With more than one million cumulative visits and 2500 daily updated data, the prices of 90 percent of the registered gas stations are now visible. So far, price differences of up to 48 centimes per liter have been detected. The platform, which is free of charge and accessible to all road users, is being further developed and improved daily by TCS.
More than 3000 price quotes from gas stations
In total, the Platform more than 12,000 contributors registered and 150,000 individual visits made. More than 3000 service stations now display at least one price.
Jürg Wittwer, General Manager of TCS: "The enthusiasm with which our platform has been received shows that it meets a real need and that the community is willing to contribute for the benefit of all."
Monthly competition is being planned
The price at the pump is influenced by numerous factors, such as the location of the service station, the rent for the land on which the service station is located, the wage level in the region concerned, or the transportation costs to bring the fuel to the service station.
Among fuels, Unleaded 95 has been the most accessed, with nearly 400,000 hits since launch, followed by Diesel with 150,000 and Unleaded 98 with 35,000 queries. The platform is constantly being improved. During the next few weeks, several innovations are planned, including a monthly contest with attractive prizes to be won. In addition, the Platform soon to be integrated into the TCS app.
