What about a server app instead?

You message the call "FUEL" and you then get a message from, say,  
FUEL123 (123 is just a unique sequence number, reused when you use  
them all up), with a position and a message saying "$4.02 Conoco, 2  
miles North-east"  It might even send back the 5 closest stations and  
prices (maybe with the price in the name - something like F402asz  
(where asz is the sequence number - using letters for more sequences)  
for nice plotting on a GPS map.

Ideally, the distance algorithm would be *driving* distance, not  
direct distance...
