bio
Yoshi began in 2015 as a direct-to-consumer gas delivery service to help our customers stay filled up and allow them to live a life without gas stations. We started delivering gas to wherever our customers parked using small pickup trucks.. The concept was simple: you downloaded the app, put your payment and vehicle details, selected the day you needed gas (aka your Yoshi Day), dropped a pin, popped your gas flap and went on with your day. Then, just like magic, our highly trained, hazmat certified field technician would come by and top up your tank!
