What This Skill Does
Searches for gas stations in a given US area using OpenStreetMap data, with a focus on identifying Costco locations. Costco prices are estimated based on typical discount patterns; prices for other stations are not available. Can be scheduled via OpenClaw cron to deliver a daily morning summary.
Automates the daily manual check of GasBuddy or station apps by combining OpenStreetMap coverage with Costco discount estimation and scheduled delivery in one place.
When to use it
- Finding the cheapest 87 octane gas near a ZIP code
- Locating Costco gas stations within a set driving radius
- Scheduling a daily 8 AM gas price briefing
- Checking discount station options before a commute or road trip
- Comparing fuel prices across diesel and mid-grade octane types
