The recent Mobile On-Demand Services model is a new frontier that is liberating peoples busy lives and giving back. FILLD gives back a combination of time, safety, avoided mess, and mileage to the users car, and I like it... a lot.
As far as "first world", if we own a car we are probably already there.
We believe that anyone who drives their car to a station, waits in line, and pumps their gas will appreciate the time they liberated and spent with family, friends, or a good book... because they used FILLD.

Awesome - I'd definitely try it. One for the FAQ: How do you fill up vehicles in parking garages?
@stevecaldwell Thanks for the support and great question! So long as there is access to the garage, our truck can provide the service. The user's responsibility is in the "additional notes" of an order, to clarify and provide any details needed for entrance and locating the vehicle (e.g. Gate Code: 442, Third Floor, Section 3B)... and make sure the car's gas flap is ajar (if it locks).
@stevecaldwell@scotthempy Did you choose Silicon Valley over San Francisco because of the relative lack of parking garages? On the one hand a city seems perfect for this service since more cars are packed in a smaller area. On the other hand a lot of those cars are tucked away in garages.
@stevecaldwell@calc Good question. We chose the SV to exercise the routing optimization and learn the efficiency of our model. We are planning on expanding to San Francisco soon as well- because yes there are many more cars in more compact area.

I like the smell of gasoline way too much to give up going to the gas station.
