About StationFinder
The project
StationFinder is a web application developed as part of the Web Development course in the L2 Computer Science degree (semester 4) at CY Cergy Paris University.
In response to rising fuel prices, we designed a tool allowing drivers to quickly find the cheapest gas stations near them, in real time.
Data comes directly from official French government sources and is updated continuously.
