domain PetrolUpdate.com

Hi there everyone,
Could I please have your thoughts on petrolupdate.com and fuelupdate.co.uk
Any value in either of these? I think it would be a good idea to make them into an information site for fuel,oil, gas etc.
What does everyone think?
Thank you

I think it's good considering it's brandable and it's a dot com and appeals to a large market. Any thoughts?

I have no idea about figures, but if it was my domain, I would develop them while petrol/fuel prices are insane.

Get the traffic fast and then keep it there.

My thoughts would be a user generated site, that lists prices of fuel/petrol by area, with country's in sub domains uk.petrolupdate.com, us.petrolupdate.com

Although, the problem i see here is that english call it petrol and you have fuelupdate on the english extension, which not many english would search for in google etc. Not a great choice of extention for that one IMO

I agree with lost one, fuel petrol stats and locations would be a good way to go with this one, put on a map with locations if you can and perhaps geocode locations so people can grab coordinates to plug into there sat nav system. You may want to make petrolupdate uk specific as I'm pretty sure most of North Amercia uses the term gas/gasoline.
Not really qualified to give advice on prices yet but I'd imagine if you did want to flip the domain rather than developing it yourself now would be the time to sell with the pricing in fuels.
Personally seen petrol fall in edinburgh to £1.12 in the last few days
Good Luck
