The 10 cent jumps was a problem on the App which has been fixed, next time they are entered they will be correct. Haven't tried to input prices so can't mention the time out.

All seems good now. Inputted petrol prices this morning without a hitch. Great stuff.

That's strange, it does seem to have disappeared from the play store and I don't see it mentioned on their site

I have to say it's great to have it, it's missing a few of the well known discount stations, Go in Ballyer, Ushers Island, the Diesel only one in Ballsbridge, but plenty of the other known cost cutters, Enfield, Newbridge, Mountbrown and others. All reasonably up to date too.
Who updates this?

It's updated by Applegreen staff.
They update their own price, and that of neighboring stations.

Well, how very nice of them.

Auld Jim Halpin · 17-05-2019 12:33am

Was there ever an IOS equivalent of the Applegreen app?

Jimbojimbo · 17-05-2019 7:41am

Yes, but it hasn't worked for a good while

horse7 · 20-05-2019 10:11am

Anyone got the price of the fuel in Go Kyle more rd

yabadabado · 20-05-2019 10:32am

Waze app is probably the best option for getting fuel prices.
Once you have logged 180km(I think) driving you can update fuel prices.

Bummer1234 · 20-05-2019 10:42am

I find the Waze app great, I know its very storage heavy on some phones and people don't want these things on the phone that are using potential photo storage,i use it when i can and find it great for gas and Traffic. Great if it caught on.

It's great, once you build up the KM you dont really need to have it open too often.I only really use it for petrol prices.

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.

It's 160 km.

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.).

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 ).

Auld Jim Halpin · 01-06-2019 3:20pm

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I suppose we still have this.....

https://www.theaa.ie/aa/motoring-advice/petrol-prices.aspx

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

Dr.TV · 26-06-2019 10:15am

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.

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