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.

    Being running my late model 150 kwatt car on 98 after locking in recent prices

    Fuel economy is the same as 91 unleaded. Performance is the same and if there is a difference probaly marginal

    Can someone explain to me why this fuel is so popular. Unless you own a high powered sports car or the manufacturer stipulates you use a high octane then this is money down the drain.

    • sween64 on 21/02/2019 - 11:59

      Because people can be easily fooled by their fallible memory.

    • pogichinoy on 21/02/2019 - 12:20

      People think it's much cleaner for their engine to warrant the price.

      • [Deactivated] on 22/02/2019 - 12:14

        Yeah my local mechanic reckons it's just cleaner. Showed me the carbon build up on the spark plugs. But I'm always unsure with mechanics how much is true and how much is just heresay. I've heard many stories over the years about which brand of fuel is better, that E10 is full of impurities and water, that Ford's are better then Holden's and that Toyota's are Jap-Crap, etc etc

        Anyway I switched and I reckon the acceleration is noticeably better. Economy is marginally better. But when its been only a few cents more, I'm happy to use it. But if it's 8c+ more I won't bother. If 95 is 5c+ more I won't bother.

      Would help if you specified exactly which model car you are driving. But, yes, the performance benefit is mainly for high performance cars that are tuned to run on higher octane fuels. Don't expect to feel much difference if you are driving a Corolla, although the additives in P98 do help to maintain a clean fuel system.

        Didn’t specify car as I Don’t want to be identified lol

        My car does 0-100 mid 6 secs which is faster then your average car. My fuel says use 91. Only ever used 95ron when e10 was the other option.
        If I need better performance i just push the pedal bit further

        • billy_bob on 22/02/2019 - 12:37

              @tarken: I know my cars and am just curious to know what car with around 150kW can do 0-100 in 6.5 seconds, and runs on 91 fuel. I'm guessing it's a hot hatch like a Golf GTi or something, but I'm pretty sure they specify 95 octane fuel.

              • shiznit on 22/02/2019 - 22:02

                @billy_bob: Veloster turbo, Elantra SR, i30 SR, Cerato Koup perhaps?

                  @shiznit: You might be right, but no way any of those are doing 0-100 in 6.5 seconds.

    • Trojan on 21/02/2019 - 14:42

      If your car is tuned to run on 91, you won't get much extra gains running it on 98.
      One area which 98 is better for any car is the lower sulfur content of 98 (50ppm) vs 91 (150ppm)
      I only use 98 because my car specifies 95 and then I upped the boost so pretty much needs 98 to prevent knocking.

          Supercharged and Turbo charged engines usually require a higher octane fuel.

          Your fuel cap lid should also specify minimum requirements.

          Not sure if that answers your question.

        • cwongtech on 21/02/2019 - 15:05

          Open up the little petrol cover, there should be a little sticker that says minimum RON required or even E10 suitable

          The sticker was labelled by the manufacturer, so whatever they designed the engine to use.. just use that.

    • tsu-chan on 21/02/2019 - 15:07

      Car requires minimum u95….u98 is cheaper than u95 at times so why not :)

          Yeah i went to one the other week where only one bowser had 95…whicb5 is what i had locked in. Teach me for not using local one

    • rainbowunicorn on 22/02/2019 - 14:13

      Just get the fuel that your car requires. Unless 95/98 is cheap as 91, it's not worth it.
      It's a marginal difference for regular cars.
      There have been some experiments, can't find the article but it's pretty straight forward.
      If the economy gain % is great than or equal to price % then buy, which was about 4% 91 to 98.
      Similar to 91 and e10.
      Only get e10 if price is less than or equal to 91 by 4%.
      Percentages may vary dependent on vehicle.

    Just got grilled by attendant about my lock-in price. Called it a scam. He said that the lock-in price was never that low around here. Wanted to know where it was locked in, I said Victoria. He didn’t believe me. He was rude, even touched my phone to move the screen up and down. I told him not to touch my phone. He said he was going to take my details “ to report it to head office” ( his words) I Didn’t give the details. Asked for my details again. I said no. He was not bringing up the payment on the eftpos so I could pay saying he wanted my details again, I refused ,So I said this is legal lock-in and that I wanted to pay and “ are you refusing to let me pay” , all of this in front of several customers. He then let me pay , and I left after getting my receipt. He then chased me out, after serving the next customer I suppose, to write down my rego..
    Lock-in price 110.9 for 98.
    Will not go back to that station again. He was rude.

        You need a local to go to. I bet he was Indian?

        Don't want to sound racist but did have an unpleasant experience.

        I had an Indian chasing me on foot while I was driving, waving his hands on the air, told me to pay. Thought I did a drive off.

        Had to show my receipt. Didn't even apologise. Just looked sorry and disappointed. I was just in the store man.

        We have a nice lady at ours. She's sweet. Likes when we get a good fuel lock.

    • knight321 on 24/02/2019 - 21:13

      I feel you my dude! The attendant yesterday said that there was a 'system issue' and that it would take a few hours to fix? Not sure if he was bluffing? He said that if he scanned my voucher, the system would freeze?

      He said that I should contact 7-11 support and they will credit my account. U98 110.9. I had to pay full price in-store as he wouldn't even try scanning my voucher…Price was 160 for U98 at the time…What a big waste of money and time!

      I feel like now that my account will get banned. Fingers crossed it doesn't!

      Just tell him not his business and the app is not designed in the way this idiot described. It can only pick up the lowest price around a neighbourhood area however it does not mean the lowest price in a neighbourhood cannot used anywhere else in Australia where 7-11 is available so he is just an idiot. It could be you were travelling in another state where the price happens to be much lower than your home state - nothing wrong about it at all.

      As to asking your personal details request, a completely idiot.

        Completely right.
        This fool is acting WAY out of his range.
        Anybody can 'catch' any good local price they see driving around and lock it in. There is nothing area-dependent about the price ever.
        He needs to be reported.

    • cheapass88 on 25/02/2019 - 09:37
      +12

      I feel you.
      This happened to me in Victoria the time it was 0.01cents for 95 petrol.
      The attendant started filming me because his boss said not to accept it. He said he was going to press the button that they press when someone doesn't pay for their fuel.
      I then took my phone and filmed him saying my app was fake and him abusing me.. I then said I won't use the fuel lock voucher and just the credit on the app as I don't have my wallet, he kept saying the money was fake on the app too. I ended up using my credit card and took down his details - he was very proud to give his name too.

      So I took it up to head office 7/11 the next day(took them a while to reply) but the lady on the line was very sympathetic and I told them I have video evidence. She gave me the whole transaction for free (as it should be) And I said if I see that staff member working there again, I'll post the video. I still go there often and I haven't seen him since!

  • georgev on 24/02/2019 - 21:21

    wow I never had any issues. I show only the barcode, not the lock-n price.

    • GUTSA on 24/02/2019 - 21:41

      Yes I was just showing the code. I think now he thought I had somehow scammed the app as I had been there several times beforehand with great lock-in prices. On another thought is he was jealous that I had a low lock-in and he could not get it. P

    • davedave on 25/02/2019 - 10:08

      How do you show the barcode and not the lock-in price? The "voucher" covers the screen with the lock-in price at the top and the barcode below. Unless you cover the price with your hand?

      And anyway the system tells them how much you saved so it's not difficult to work out (roughly) what the price differential must have been, even if they don't see the lock-in price on the screen.

      • CodeXD on 25/02/2019 - 10:27
        +1

        Once it tells you how much is saved, it's all already been paid for so if they ask questions you can just say thanks and walk out.

        Edit: just checked the screen with barcode, yeah, doesn't look like there's a way to hide price unless you screenshot and crop. It's a pretty crappy thing for them to hound customers where people got the lock prices from. Especially when they clearly dgaf when we ask them to get freebies from the back room.

        • zah on 25/02/2019 - 10:34

          Split screen so that only the barcode could be seen.
          Attendant always asks me what price i locked in, which means they can't see the locked in price on their monitor.

          • davedave on 25/02/2019 - 19:56

    I'm seeing a lot of comments around negative behaviour of 7-Eleven staff when shown a cheap 'lock in; price. As a manager at a corporate 7 eleven store, I can confirm that the company pays for the discount, not the individual franchise store. The commission a store makes on fuel is 4c/L flat regardless of a fuel discount or not.

    Furthermore, I'd encourage you guys to send a complaint to our customer service at 1800 247 711 if a store gave you a bad experience. 7-Eleven representatives should honor your coupon regardless where you locked it in from. :)

    Do you guys change your password everytime you use https://fuel.ethergroup.com.au/ or do you keep it the same unique password?

      well.. ideally you should. but then it depends how much you trust people.

      I believe the password isn’t sent to the servers it’s all done client side so it shouldn’t be an issue.
