Understanding Price Information
📅 Price Freshness
Each fuel price shows when it was last updated:
• “5 mins ago” – Very fresh, likely accurate
• “2 hours ago” – Recent, probably still accurate
• “3 days ago” – May have changed, worth checking
• “N/A” – No price data available yet
💷 Price Format
When entering prices, use these formats:
• ✅ Correct: 1.23, 1.235, 0.99
• ❌ Incorrect: 1.2, £1.23, 123p
Tips for Best Results
• Update prices whenever you fill up – Takes 30 seconds and helps everyone
• Check the “last updated” times – Older prices may have changed
• Use postcode search – Faster than zooming around the map
• Sort by your fuel type – Quickly find the cheapest option
• Flag incorrect stations – Keeps the database clean and accurate
• Share with friends – More contributors = better data for everyone
