Any takers on this (locations)? As mentioned in another thread, we prolly shouldn&#39;t use data from <a href="http://petrol.co.ke">petrol.co.ke</a> without his permission. Having said, it seems fairly trivial to get started at least with some locations, e.g. going to the websites of some of the known franchises, mapping the locations on Google/Bing and emailing the map link.<div>

<p class="MsoNormal">We need locations of &quot;participating&quot; petrol
stations in the city.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It would be great if someone volunteered to harness the info
and generate a Google/Bing maps mashup.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I put &quot;participating&quot; in quotes because we need to
decide who gets to be part of this: does *anyone* who sells petrol qualify? Or
only licensed/recognized dealers? Only ones within the city-center?</p>
