Free PetrolPrices App

[UK Sentinel]

If you are looking for an App to show fuel prices in your area, then try the free ‘PetrolPrices’ app

I have been using this app for a while now on my iPhone and its a great way to plan journey around visiting the fueling stations offering the best prices (maybe not best quality) in your area

Prices seem to be within a day of accuracy in price change frequency, so a great guide .

I been using that app on Android but tbh the prices are not overly accurate as it will say x hours/days ago last updated… I went to one of my local ones which was supposedly cheaper, got there and the price had already gone up to be in line with others so for me, its not that useful tbh.  Also for me, Tesco is charging same price now as BP!  However, fuel isn’t as good as i get less mpg from Tesco than BP fuel on the standard fuel…

I had also noticed that Esso / BP etc. was nearly the same price as the major supermarkets, so have switched to Esso in my area .

Good to see the app is also available on Android –  given fuel prices are changing daily, maybe the app is not as current as one would ideally like ?

yes, it seems like users actually update it, i’ve not signed up/registered, i jsut downlaoded so I can’t submit prices etc… but on android it says the price then underneath updated x ago i.e x hours, x days etc.

 

So if your lucy and it updates the same day maybe the price is current if not, no guarantees the price is what the app says.

I use BP mostly now as i pass them more now and I’ve setup the app so i can pay by the app and not go in the store (set this up when covid hit to limit being in a close space with others back then) and so now I tend to use it.

It’s quiet easy, i pull up, clock the pump number when driving in.  Open the app, select the pump number and choose full up tank, I don’t choose x amount, then it confirms details, it ear marks £100 on my payment card and then it unlocks the pump, i get out fill up, when i reseat the nozzle, a few seconds later, the app then says processing and then done – paid.  after that it then charges my card the correct amount, it can take a couple of days or so but I never worry, on my statements the figures are correct so that’s all good.

BP also do some deals sometimes for double points etc as I collect the points, i can eventually use these for money off the fuel, only snag is I can’t do that in the app, i have to go in the store and show my reward card on the app at the till and i guess they scan it and then it deducts my £x I’ve built up off the price of my fuel.  ATM I got about £15 earned lol Waiting to get it higher so I can eventually pay for a 1/2 or a full tank with it :)

Wow, lots of thought around that process,  I just turn up at a pump and select the amount of fuel (cashless) and then off I go, the only planning I do is to miss filling up at the weekends as way to many shoppers around
