Made some small improvements to
https://highwayrobbery.uk today - added the current opening status of each fuel station (tells you if currently open or closed, and if open when it closes), and an expandable list of opening hours. It should pick up the bank holiday opening hours tomorrow.
I even did it using 12 hour clock because apparently young people today can't comprehend 24h clock. Mental.

Nice little article on
https://highwayrobbery.uk in this month's PC Pro magazine (July edition, came out 2 days ago). A flurry of £1.50 donations has come in as a result, which is nice. I mean it barely touches the sides of what it's cost me to host so far but hey ho

Is that article thanks to an old forum member with an Aston?

The two cheapest to me within 6 miles (SE1 4QA) are definitely not petrol stations - how does it end up with that data.
gnh E B London EC2A 4NE and QA F1 22 Pembroke Place.
124p at E B London if you want to try filling up at an interior designer!

Whomever inputs the data at each retailer has a basic responsibility to type the right shite in.
Addresses are hard, apparently.

V1.60 now has a Favourites feature. Add the stations you visit most often from search results and they'll be pinned to the home page. Pricing is live (every 20 mins).
