To get this price you will need a android device with the following free apps - 7-Eleven Fuel & FakeGPS Free.

1 - Open the FakeGPS app and set your location to "Bacchus Marsh" press the play button to engage location
2 - Open the 7-Eleven Fuel and you will get a notification about cannot perform action
3 - Completely close both apps, reopen 7-Eleven Fuel app and lock in the price of 114.9 and fill up at your local 7-11

      Putting it up here so people can find it easily.
      I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 with Android 6
      Here are the steps I did to get it working
      - download 7-eleven fuel app
      - sign in account
      - downloaded http://fakegps-free.en.uptodown.com/android
      - enabled mock location in developer options
      - set location to Watanobbi
      - open fuel app
      - selected fuel I use
      - click find best price
      - gave me mock location error
      - closed fuel app
      - closed fake gps app
      - open fuel app
      - click find best price
      - gave mock location error
      - close fuel app
      - open fuel app
      - click find best price and it worked
      I was able to purchase fuel at 108.7c and have a voucher to scan when I fill up.

      Hope this helps

          • JBinAussie on 20/03/2019 - 11:27

            @Grandslam: I know what you mean, however, isn't the bigger scam when a company who purchases fuel at a national price decides sells it for 47c/ltr more in some areas? For no other reason other than "they feel like it". Are you telling me that the value of the fuel sitting in those tanks just suddenly jumped by that much? Or are they price gouging?

            While fuel companies resort to dirty tacticks like price surges like this I don't feel so bad seeing people play them a little.

      • illumination on 29/12/2016 - 00:05

        Hijacking to share my experience.

        Have been following your instructions a million times on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 but it never worked.

        Tried a spare OnePlus One and have got it working by roughly following your instructions.

        Something other people kept mentioning which I couldn't get was talking about "choosing FakeGPS Free" as your mock locations app. This option doesn't exist on Xiaomi Redmi Note 2. Mock locations is either on or off.

        You basically have to keep force closing 7-Eleven fuel app until the mock locations error doesn't appear anymore, which from my experience takes about 3-5 times. You do not turn need to mock locations off.

        • amkssg on 29/12/2016 - 03:12

          No, you don't have too.
          I use a Xiaomi Phone as well.
          If your location does not update,
          1) get out of the APP
          2) Turn on Airplane mode
          3) Turn off Airplane mode
          4) get back into APP

          I feel uneasy with this too. 7elevens are generally operated by independents and do not have the firepower against the major fuel outlets (they do not even have the firepower against their own 7eleven headquarters).
          Its common knowledge the employees are under-paid as it is.

          While I do not support 7eleven business model, I'd rather leave them alone and not cause them even trouble. After all, the ones that suffer are those poor student workers.

        • lostn on 13/12/2016 - 18:19
          +8

          Good question. Since it's a 'hack' it seems more dishonest than creating multiple accounts. With multiple accounts, presumably you're still giving honest details, whereas with a GPS hack, you're lying about your location and getting prices you aren't entitled to.

          But then I have no moral objection to using a VPN to get US pricing on software. This isn't all that different. My reasoning is, I think price discrimination is itself immoral. You're paying more for the exact same product just because you live somewhere else. But what about fuel? This thing has happened for a long time (prices differing by service station) and we've all just come to accept it as normal. Price discrimination in digital software has only been brought to people's attention the last few years so it's less acceptable.

          It's morally grey. Can't say it's either wrong or right. It's up to you to decide that for yourself. I'm not going to do it. I also don't want to risk them examining it closely and getting caught in my dishonesty.

    Premium Diesel is 116.9 at Randwick and Bankstwon.

    LPG is 54.9 at Petersham.

    Bear in mind that the price cycle may bring any of these values higher or lower.

Hard to explain how, turn on fake gps let the app find the fake location then exit the fake gps and lock in…it was something like that, like i said i tried a whole bunch of time till it locked in.
