FAQ

Where do the prices come from?

Prices come from official data published by the Régie de l'énergie du Québec, which sets the legal minimum price floor for every gas station in the province. The app fetches this data directly from the Régie's servers.

How often are prices updated?

Data is refreshed every time you open the app. In the background, the app also periodically checks for new updates from the Régie so it can alert you when prices change at your favourite stations.

How do price alerts work?

Add a station to your favourites (⭐ icon in its detail sheet), then enable alerts for that station (🔔 icon). The app monitors prices in the background and sends you a local notification as soon as a change is detected — without ever sending your data to an external server.

Does the app cover all of Quebec?

Yes. Every gas station registered with the Régie de l'énergie du Québec appears on the map, regardless of region.

Which fuel types are shown?

The app displays prices for regular, premium, and diesel fuel, depending on what each station reports. Use the filter bar to show only the fuel type you need.

How do I view a station's price history?

Tap a station to open its detail sheet, then select the History tab. You'll see how prices have changed over time, with the ability to navigate through past periods.

Is my personal data collected?

No. The app does not collect or transmit any personal data. Your GPS location, favourite stations, and preferences stay on your device only. Firebase Crashlytics is the sole third-party service used, for crash reporting. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Is the app free?

Yes, Ça Tank is completely free with no ads and no in-app purchases.
