ExxonMobil Introduces Android? Station Locator Application
Technology Will Help Customers Find Fuel that Keeps Engines Clean
Provides GPS directions and retail station information
Available as a free
download from the Android Market
ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) is launching its latest in mobile technology ? the
Exxon Mobil Fuel Finder application for Android. The application gives
real-time maps, driving directions, and station information for nearly
10,000 Exxon and Mobil retail locations across the continental United
States.
'This new app continues our record of delivering what consumers want and
need,? says Chris Mahoney, U.S. branded wholesale manager for ExxonMobil
Fuels Marketing. 'Since the iPhone ® and iPad ® version of this app was
introduced in November 2010, it′s had over 26,000 downloads. Our
customers have been very interested in when the same technology would be
available for their Androids, and now they can more easily and more
efficiently find an Exxon or Mobil station no matter where they are.?
The Exxon Mobil Fuel Finder application is a mobile version of the
popular online station locator, available since January 2001, at exxonmobilstations.com.
The application relies on GPS technology to identify a user's location
and then highlights nearby Exxon and Mobil stations on an interactive
Google map. An advanced filtering feature distinguishes stations by
hours, fuel sold, pay at the pump, convenience store, Speedpass,
car wash and service bay. This feature allows customers to seek out
specific services prior to their arrival.
The application also includes an 'Our Gasoline' section, which provides
information about Exxon and Mobil fuel, including how its development on
a molecular level helps clean intake valves and fuel injectors.
The Exxon Mobil Fuel Finder is a free Android application available
for download from the Android Market.

ExxonMobil is developing a mobile-friendly version of the station
locator, exxonmobilstations.com,
that can be used with all web-enabled phones, including BlackBerry ®
smartphones. This enhancement will be available later this year.
