Further Info/Tips

There are two "tricks" that can be extremely beneficial as there is a common trend experienced by 7-Eleven App users: 1) If you receive an error processing your credit/debit card, you can purchase a 7-Eleven Gift Card in-store and apply the credits instantly onto the App. 2) You do not need to use the funds on your App to pay for the fuel, you can lock-in the price and pay via Cash or Card at the checkout saving the hassle of constantly topping up, gift cards, etc.

Master131 spends a lot of time creating and maintaining the script at Project Zero Three that we all know and love.

      I filled up using the 128.5 for 98 from Algester. The servo I was at still had it at 156 but the attendant was really suspicious lol

  • jpwwong on 22/04/2018 - 00:42

    I've tried all the methods listed so far but I've found that the 7-11 app lists itself as a mock location app as soon as FAKEGPS is turned on.

    The only way to get the 7-11 app to work is to turn off mock location which then disables my mock location immediately.

    Nothing I've tried so far works unfortunately. Frustrating!

    • tryagain on 22/04/2018 - 14:20

      What phone are you using, have you tried uninstalling the 7-11app like I mentioned above?

      • jpwwong on 23/04/2018 - 09:47

        Yup I have. On a Note 4 running Android 6.

        The 7-11 app hacks my Mock location settings as soon as the app is opened. And it won't work unless I turn off mock locations.

        The frustrating thing is that as soon as I turn off mock locations, the fake location switches off :(

    Is it my phone or can someone else verify - hampton park vic 95 is 1c per litre. Uh wot?!..

    • SBOB on 22/04/2018 - 08:12

      nope, not just you

      https://ibb.co/i8JJDc

    • rzrz on 22/04/2018 - 08:13

      Yes, it appears to be 0.1c a litre.

    • googoogaga on 22/04/2018 - 08:14

      Yes! Got that too. Too bad I need diesel, locked it in anyways for giggles
      Would be interesting to see if anyone is actually willing to try paying

      • Rod71 on 22/04/2018 - 08:57

        As tempting as it is, I can only see it ending in tears. Especially if you are not in the Hampton Park area.

          @LoveBargain15: Honestly. I'd be embarrassed pumping 50 litres and handing over 5c with a straight face.

        • garage sale on 22/04/2018 - 09:31

          @Rod71: they have competitions where you can win free fuel, os if they honour it consider yourself one of those winners because you had better odds.

          if they don’t honour it make sure you wanted the fuel at the pump price …… i think in court your 0.1c litre wouldn’t pass the reasonable person test.

          often stores apologise for published pricing errors and get you to pay the correct price if you want the goods .

          problem with fuel is giving it back ……. do they scan code and then you fill up, or you fill up and discount is applied ….. never bought from 7/11 fuel.

        • SnoozeAndLose on 22/04/2018 - 09:34

          @garage sale:

          You fill up then you go into the shop and fill up and scan the bar code.

          It is fair if they honor and it is a shame if they did not. They should send email to all people who lock in to invalidate their lock in price but not just wait until you fill up and you will have to pay the full price at the station.

        • SnoozeAndLose on 22/04/2018 - 09:35

    Does spoofing work on the 7/11 app? I got a warning fromthe 7/11 app that I've enabled deveoper options, etc

    When I go back and check the settings now, it shows 7/11 fuel as the mock location provider.

  • ahseng on 22/04/2018 - 21:50

    Hey Guys, new to this. Got NOX installed on my PC, and was able to use the inbuilt function to change the location.

    As I'm in Vic, should I only be using other locations only in Victoria? Or can you use any suburb in the country?

    Also, how does the app work, do you need to top up the 711 app? I read something about picking the amount of litres you're after. What happens if you don't use the whole amount? Can you re-lock prices again?

    Thanks in advance!

    • zo0omer on 22/04/2018 - 21:57
      +2

      Hey mate.

      You need to have enough $ in your 711 account according to the amount of litres you wish to lock.

      It doesn't charge you when you lock the litres. When you you go to pay atthe store you can use the app to pay thus the money comes out of your account or you can pay cash or card.

      You only get charged for the amount of litres you use mate! You can't lock in the amount of litres you have remaining. But you can relock again of course.

      • ahseng on 22/04/2018 - 22:35

        Awesome, thanks so much!

        Should I only lock prices from other Victorian places, since I'm in Vic? Or can I use any suburb in the country? I'm guessing the latter might be little too sus?

    After two 0.01c price errors in two days and given all the money they would of lost and the fact they took off hampton park from the app completely to stop users locking in the error isnt a good sign. I'd say they are really going to start stepping up security to put a stop to all of the apps flaws.

    • nardz on 24/04/2018 - 09:45
      +1

      the 0.01c price errors are a separate issue - they're morons tbh.

      i really can't see them stepping up security in a way that would stop us doing this - it's more likely that they'll pull the whole app.

  • katz on 23/04/2018 - 23:21

    So can I confirm how this works, sorry first time user!

    Literally just lockin the price. Goto Servo, fill up the car, show the Lockin Coupon and either pay with my Credit Card, OR, my 7-11 Preloaded card within the app?

    • zo0omer on 23/04/2018 - 23:25

      Correct

      • katz on 23/04/2018 - 23:29

        Last question, after locking in a price. Can you cancel that if you find something cheaper within the 7 days?

        • zo0omer on 23/04/2018 - 23:31

          Nup… You have to use it. Done people say just fill up the minimum and the relock. But that's a bit extreme.. I'm not sure wat the minimum is.

  • salmon123 on 26/04/2018 - 17:20

    Are there any ticks/work around for locking in a price, without topping up your account?

    • Rod71 on 26/04/2018 - 18:02

      No, you need enough money in the account to cover the amount of litres you want. You can leave the money in there and pay via CC once you redeem the voucher.

      • salmon123 on 26/04/2018 - 18:11

        You can leave the money in there and pay via CC once you redeem the voucher.

        I don't like the idea of leaving money in there, in case they start banning accounts and freezing the funds.

        If only there was a way to transfer the money between 7/11 accounts … then we could start generating vouchers on-mass!

    What can be done to start to make the fuel retailers play fair?

    We shouldn't need to go to these lengths to avoid being screwed by the cycles. I held off using this app, but with extended peak from mid Dec 17 to mid Jan 18, they convinced me to use the location workaround.

    We will never get proper fuel competition in Australia until we get rid of this rediculous fuel cycle. I am no fan of regulation, but we need some pollies to force this pattern to stop.

    Every few months, we get an opinion article in the newspapers, but they rarely get any attention, and quickly get buried. Does the general consumer not care? - I don't think they do. Then we have the motoring bodies (e.g. RACQ), who are probably best placed to push the issue, but for me, their language is too soft on the matter.

    Anyway, any crazy ideas (apart from using this app while it lasts). How about a not for profit fuel company (i.e become a member to get fuel at cost+overheads).

    Or, how about a months worth of blockading fuel stations on set days (to get the media attention).

    • Rod71 on 26/04/2018 - 22:55

      Govt won't touch it as they get more money the higher it is.

    • nardz on 27/04/2018 - 09:57

      the age old argument. I've been hearing people complaining about petrol prices since I started driving almost 20 years ago and it was 75c a litre. nobody gives a (profanity) because it's the average aussie that gets ripped off while the corporations swim in money.

      This is the epitome of a victimless crime, because the victims are criminals.

    • salmon123 on 27/04/2018 - 10:43

      Does the general consumer not care? - I don't think they do.

      How much difference does it really make? Say you're a heave petrol user … 3000L/year (driving >25k km/year)

      A 50c/L price fluctuation is only going to change your overall cost by $1500/year. Of course, if you're driving that much, you'd have to be pretty unlucky (and silly) to always be filling up at the peak of the cycle. Assuming you only buy at the peak of the cycle half of the time, the overall cost is down to $750/year.

      In my experience, the cycles tend to be less extreme than my example (probably only 30c/L) and not many people living in the city drive 25k km/year … so the actual cost to an individual is probably only $200-300/year.

      Yeah, it might be a different story, if you have 3 cars in your household and need to commute 100km/day to work/school, but I think those families tend to be outliers … hence no real action from politicians/consumer groups/etc.

      • nardz on 27/04/2018 - 11:04

        maybe so - but that doesn't make it right - the government's job should be to protect consumers even if consumers don't know they need protecting.

        For example, If i wrote a hack that skimmed 1 cent from the bank account of every person in australia - would the average person care? not really. it's only 1 cent. But i'd have my ass thrown in jail for a long time because what I am doing is still theft regardless of the impact of each individual.

        • SBOB on 27/04/2018 - 11:15

          How is that the same comparison?
          These are private companies, so can realistically charge what they want..competition (and probably collusion) is what keeps the prices where they are.

          Plus the government makes its excise and gst off fuel, so they are getting something like 50c in every litre already.

          You can be a smart consumer and shop around (and use price cycles to your advantage) or you can not. No different than shopping for anything else

        • nardz on 27/04/2018 - 11:24

          but private companies can't just charge what they want.. we have the ACCC for a reason - to regulate trade practices.

          The practice of changing the price every day and in every location, and charging some places up to 30% higher is immoral and that is exactly why we have the ACCC.

          And collusion is illegal.

        • salmon123 on 27/04/2018 - 11:39

          maybe so - but that doesn't make it right

          My reply wasn't about whether it's right or not, it's about why the average person doesn't care.

          the government's job should be to protect consumers even if consumers don't know they need protecting.

          Take a look at some of the banking royal commission coverage. People have been getting screwed out of hundreds of thousands of dollars for years. It's a massively bigger problem and I don't see the government doing anything substantial to change it.

          Heck, electricity and gas price increases over the past few years have had a bigger impact on consumers discretionary spending, than fuel price cycles.

          Saving consumers a couple of hundred bucks on their annual fuel costs is pretty low priority for governments.

        • SBOB on 27/04/2018 - 12:10

          @nardz:

          but private companies can't just charge what they want..

          what? yes they can.
          they cant have misleading pricing etc, but private companies are free to charge what they want for a product (theres some exceptions, like regulated industries such as electricity and we know how well thats working ;) )
          Wanna open up a bottled water company and charge $99 a bottle…go right ahead
          Wanna open up a petrol station and charge $5 a litre..go right ahead

          Competition is what keeps (or should keep) prices at a reasonable level

          As for the cyclical pricing cycle, while i think its stupid, smart consumers get to use it to their benefit.

        • nardz on 27/04/2018 - 13:35

          if i opened up a bottled water company, and found a way to monopolise every drop of water in Australia, and then charged $99/bottle, you bet there'd be government intervention.

          the key to your post is competition. There is no competition with petrol because they are all colluding to keep prices up. That is what makes it illegal, private companies or not.

          that's why the ACCC stands for the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission

        • megaclix on 27/04/2018 - 21:30

          @SBOB:
          Our prices are lower mainly due to taxes. UK retailer margins appear to be approx 9 cents (excluding VAT), including delivery.

          @megaclix:

          and what is it here? about 11c from a quick google. Not much difference

          quick google shows something like 42% is international cost of refined fuel, another 42% is tax/excise/gst?
          (abc article was the source of that)

        Good point, when objectively looking at it, the overall price (i.e. retail margin) averages out.

        It is only the retail margin that swings from around +4 to +30 cents over the published terminal gate prices. (This incidentally only a few years ago used to be +4 to +22 to +24 cents - no one, even RACQ brings this up).

        In Perth, where they still have weekly cycles, you can manage this more effectively (i.e always buy at the bottom), but the eastern state have much longer cycles.

        It is just why, out of all the counties in the world, does Australia put up with this fuel cycle? Does anyone know of any other country that has this fuel cycle?

        On reading into the history of fuel prices in Australia, it used to have a real reason. Now, it just seems to be continued to confuse / blindside the consumer. I can only conclude that the fuel companies (and this is the head companies, not the franchisees), do this to maximise their profits - I can't blame them for that. But where, WHERE is the consumer backlash.

        I think overall, the price cycle just bamboozles the consumer, and they just put up with it. Our motoring bodies (e.g RACQ) are weak at pointing out the real situation.

        It is hard to judge competition, when the prices go these price cycles. The monitoring bodies keep publishing the averages over an area, which just hides what is really going on.

        If we could get free access to the raw live pricing data, I am sure it would be interesting (I am in SE QLD).

    Anyone using Nox and getting Lima Error when topping up. Just top up on your normal device then lock in with NOX. I think it has some security protection for new devices.

    U91 123.7 Riverstone NSW

    Not a great price but probably the cheapest for the next week or so. If you can hold out until Monday WA might be cheaper.

    • Rod71 on 27/04/2018 - 20:33

      Not great, but better then $1.50+ at most NSW outlets.

    alleged collusion ;)

    I think signalling is a more accurate description of the problem and its pretty difficult to governments to stop it. The government could step in and enforce a price ceiling/floor, but I think that's been shown to be bad for consumers world over.

  • Levathian on 30/04/2018 - 09:48

    Some advice. The price of fuel in Brisbane has sat above $1.50/L ($1.70 for 98) for more than a week now (so longer than the app's lock in time) and nothing within driving distance of SEQ has gone anything below that at all… but if I use the GPS Spoof/NOX to lock-in to a Sydney 7/11 (at say $1.45/L for 98 or something around that), will the Brisbane store I fill up at get suspicious? Do 7/11 send out memos about this sort of thing? I'm only asking cuz the last time I locked up it was the $1.28 for 98 at Algester and the attendant gave me a weird look and asked where I got the price from.

      If they ask you where you locked in, either tell them to mind their business, or say you travel interstate a lot.

      • blehgg on 30/04/2018 - 11:00

        Got asked this morning where I locked it in (from Brisbane).

        I drive to the Gold Coast and across the border alot.

        edit: this hack is probably on the way out…. TBH..

      They all know what's going on. They're even on this thread.

        The big companies are on all these threads looking for loopholes to close.

      • follow on 30/04/2018 - 15:12

        They're probably just worried about the family situation.

    The pollers don't seem to be updating the right prices anymore. Cross verified with FuelcheckNSW and 7-eleven app in Nox emulator. It shows $149.9 for E10 at Riverstone, but the php page shows $121.7 with last update at 30/04/18 08:39

    See the screenshots here
