Re: The Motorbikerist Thread

Exactly Rich. I just paid for it and the guy says it has a heap of paperwork and bills etc with it, so I'm hoping it's not a major fix up and just needs some tidying other than whatever the running issue is. These old boxers are lovely, but I'd quite like to flip it for a profit and then do ...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread

So I finished Will's KTM RC 125 a couple of weeks ago. I spent way too much on it really but hey ho what you gonna do for your kid eh? He's absolutely loving life on it.

Re: It's Highway Robbery, innit

For the first time since all this chaos started, yesterday saw more fuel stations lowering their prices than raising them nationally. There were still only around 500 price changes all day (compared to nearly 6,000 at peak gouging about 3 weeks ago).

I think the next main update will be a separate ...

Re: It's Highway Robbery, innit


Gloucester Services on the M5 showing 142.2p… doesn’t sound right.

Next cheapest is 150.7p


This one? With only 1 fuel pricing entry they've literally just appeared on the system, and it's probably shit data. The deadline for registering and updating prices was months ago. There's still quite a ...

Re: It's Highway Robbery, innit


I'm liking the updates Tim 👍

Apparently the Murco in Woopit are selling SUL at 149.9p, so I might scout it on my motorbike and get them to chuck in a tenner and return in my car if it really is that cheap :lol:


That's 5 mins from my g/f's house, so is my go-to fuel station especially for ...

Re: It's Highway Robbery, innit

Now with price trend indicator.

The next update will likely be an expandable timeline of prices for each station.

Re: It's Highway Robbery, innit

Glad it helped Jobbo.

Trying to think of ways to at least cover the infrastructure costs of this long-term. I'm going to experiment with dropping google ads in over the next week, and I might stick a "Buy me a litre of Petrol" donation link.

Tricky one as generally people think everything on the ...

Re: It's Highway Robbery, innit


I posted this on a Loltus forum : feedback :

One further suggestion. If you are out and about you may well not know your postcode.


I'm working on a native app, that will use GPS. I can also make the postcode search box look for towns, but as previousy alluded to the address data isn't ...

Re: It's Highway Robbery, innit

I've made a few UI tweeks. I'm keeping in mind the vast majority of visitors are on a mobile with a 390x844 screen res.

In each results block the fuel brand is now top left, and station name top right - if they are different. Often it's the same text because hard of thinking or something, who knows ...

Re: It's Highway Robbery, innit

it might be asleep. If you get a 20 second wait for results it's because the container has gone to sleep 15 mins after the last request. It's not cheap to host and makes no money so don't need it always-on

Also a lot of them just have the names of the franchise group. Like what brand fuel is MFG or Rontec selling?


Yeah brand name is a field. I'm trying to make this as mobile friendly as possible so don't want to make each block too big. I'll see if I can jam it in tho. Some of the data in name ...

It's Highway Robbery, innit

So I've been playing around the gub'mint's Fuel Finder API service, got a bit carried away with myself and made a full on fuel-finder website, finding cheap fuel for the purpose of.

It updates every 30 mins. It's quite worrying how many fuel retailers are not reporting according to the legislation ...
