Pumps.ie

Since I have just noticed that pumps.ie is no longer working and with fuel prices starting to reach for the stars again has anyone a link to a site that does similar to what pumps.ie used to do

Thanks

I was thinking of starting a thread similar to the insurance quotes one.

One could relay station, location and at least the fuel price they bought.

if you use waze theres a option there for fuel prices, its usually pretty up to date.

I have an Applegreen app which does the same as pumps but it doesn't seem to be always available on the play store

Pumps is notorious for working and not working all the time. Sit tight and it's probably going to be back up and running in a week

It's my go to website for getting my fuel. 140€ petrol applegreen clonsilla rd yesterday.

KOR101 · 06-04-2019 1:25pm

Yes, really missing it.

It's been down for a few weeks now, and the map hasn't worked for months.

Strange that nobody knows whats going on.

Petrol 132.9 in Charleville yesterday. Whereas 138.9 in Limerick city.

DaveyDave · 07-04-2019 1:39pm

Petrol is 1.419 at Texaco on the N4 at Woodies. 138 at Circle K beside Marley Park and 140 at the one around the corner beside the Pizza Hut.

I was there Monday 8th, E1.40 for petrol, sorry didn't catch the diesel price

Anyone tried Drivvo or Waze for pump prices. I really miss pumps.ie!

The Applegreen app shows competitor prices.

WestWicklow1 · 10-04-2019 10:44am

I think the problem is with the underlying pumps.ie rather than the app.

The app's author's email address is freely available on the play store so I guess it's ok to put it here.....

Send an email to ed.android@gmail.com and alert/ask him if he can do something about it.

I suspect he doesn't own pumps.ie so he may or may not be able to help.

Apple green clonsilla rd petrol 1.42€

Strange that, and also strange that they give competitor prices.

They even show a "lower price" icon even if it's one of their competitors.

I tried Waze, it does have pump prices but they are not accurate. Stations around me were showing as "1.4" or "1.3" which is supposed to mean 1.40 and 1.30 respectively. I don't know why they don't show the actual price as presumably the Wazers (users) were entering the full price, i.e. 1.42. Anyway I went to the 1.3 one and it was 1.44!

I think Drivvo is a paid app.

Sadly fuel prices are climbing steadily again and of course we are also getting ripped off with a stations slow response to falling oil prices and a very fast response when the price increases. The rise and fall of the pump price should be aligned with the oil price, it's not and there is no legislation to provide for that unfortunately.

Did anyone get a reply from the pumps.ie people?

Has anyone else attempted contact?

The price paid by the retailer is not directly linked to the price of crude oil. In the summer petrol goes up becase of the US driving season, they like to drive for their vacation. While in winter diesel goes up as its used for heating. Priced can also change depending on which refineries are going into or exiting maintenance. So the retail prices of oil are only partially correlated to the price of crude.

It's often gone down for a few days.. maybe even a week , but it's never been down for this long.

I think the Dev has given up on it.

I sent him a DM.. I got no response.

It's dead

It's all down to the inputter. There's only me and 2 others in this area who update prices. The last week or two prices have been changing daily by a cent or 2, depending what next door is charging. Some stations in the Sligo area haven't been updated for weeks and are showing about 8c under the average.
