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

True, I happily bought a few cones to lick while pulled in at the curragh, as it was Derby day. Lots of fine fillys there. €3 for cones from a €6 euro saving. I'd say Maxol made a killing from the passing punters, also the Kildare v Tyrone traffic going the opposite way. Ideal day to flog coffee and munchies.

How do retailers claim they only make a few small cent on a little, when I know of stations selling diesel for 139.9, that's 12.4¢ more , and I presume that the maxol is still making profit at 127.5

It depends how much they bought it for and they also have to figure out how much they will have to pay for the next tank. Here's the taxes and costs of fuel

There's a reason why most petrol stations now have coffee and food serving areas, there's huge profit on them, and loads of sweets, there's big profit on these.

127.5 for Diesel in Maxol Newbridge yesterday. Applegreen also.

I just don't find Waze as good. .. too few users, and not as user friendly for checking prices.

Just tap on the search box, tap on the pump icon, and it shows a map and list (sorted by distance) for you. It even pops up asking you if you want to search for local fuel prices if you stop moving for long enough. There are voice commands too.

Waze is better than nothing, and Pumps.ie right now is still nothing...

Just to let you know I emailed the owner of pumps.ie in and i got this reply on 29th April:

Hi,
The owner of the site is working on a backend upgrade required by the hosting platform.
This is in work, once complete the app will be back online.
Not able to monitor this address regularly but will check in more often

Been 2 months since so not sure if that's still the case. i still open the app every so often, its started crashing with the latest S9 update.

(Only seeing the thread now, sorry )

That's seems to me good news... I hope.

The app doesn't crash on my sgs6 or oneplus6t , it simply says that my watchlist is empty, or no nearby stations found.

Can anyone say how posts to Waze compare in number to Pumps.ie.

How do you know the fuel be pumped out is inline with what the meter is telling you ? How often do pump testers go around checking the accuracy? Once a year? I reckon most or all stations don't bother to adjust the amount of fuel dispensed within a 5c tolerance. So driving half way across the city to get fuel 3 or 4 cent cheaper will make shag all differance.

NSAI legal metrology service looks after pumps calibration. They are accurate to +1 to -0.5 %, so the most you will lose is about 0.7 cent on a litre, you stand to gain 1.4 cent using €1.40 As a price. They are more than happy to receive calls of suspected short measures. I reported a dodgy operator maybe 10 or 15 years ago, when a fill while well in reserve took several litres more than it had in previous occasions. Buyer beware.

Pumps are regulate by weights and measures, if you think they are incorrect then report and they will check.

It's not worth driving off route for cheaper fuel. You will maybe safe a Euro but spend more than that driving, in time and added fuel.

You need to drive 160km and have the app record it before you can start using the petrol prices part.

Just to clarify - you can check fuel prices when you start using the app, it's only if you want to submit fuel price updates that you need to have driven 160 km.

Instructions for submitting reports are here:

There has been a substantial decrease in crude oil price over the last few weeks, hopefully we will see a decrease at the pump soon.

@Robert Muldoon - there apparently was an IOS Applegreen app at some point but I don't believe it works any longer, feel free to see if you can find it. I resurrected an old android phone and put the app on that.

I have just come across this forum and like all of I found pumps.ie invaluable and miss it greatly
I am an iOS user, is the apple green app available in iOS App Store?
I don’t understand this waze thing, can someone tellmewhats the best solution to pumps.ie
Thanks

Waze is very easy to use. Download the app and input your details (email address) .You need to drive 160km and have the app record it before you can start using the petrol prices part.
Before you start a drive just open the app and leave it on while you drive to record the km ,no need for it to be giving you directions. Once you have gotten 160km ,you wont need to do this.

Once you have got 160m ,you can use the search button to find stations/prices and to update prices(you need to be at the station to update ).

I don't know where you got that from, it's using about 250 MB on my phone, a third of what Google Maps uses. Very typical amount of usage for such an app.

You need to have registered your account with an email address, and it may take a week for your status to update after registering: https://support.google.com/waze/answer/9333101?hl=en&ref_topic=6263925
The delay is probably there for a reason (discourage bot/spam accounts, etc.).

Once you have logged 180km(I think) driving you can update fuel prices.

It's 160 km.

I did 1500km on it in a week and it still kept telling me I needed to do 180km. That bug was one of the main reasons I dumped it the first time around and they still haven't fixed it across the board.

Did you link the app to the website with your email address ?

I think that is the issue ,similar happened me but once I linked them I got access within a day or 2.

Was there ever an IOS equivalent of the Applegreen app?

They update their own price, and that of neighboring stations.

Well, how very nice of them.
