Just thought I would check fuel prices using my 7-ELEVEN app, and the Port Melbourne store returned me a price of 133.9 cents per litre for SUPREME +98 - currently trending at about 158.9 at other stores. So if you are in the area, and use 98 RON fuel make sure you lock in for redemption wherever you like! =:o)
I am pretty sure this is a price error - fuel is the same price as regular unleaded, so make sure you get it while it lasts!!
gotta use Nox buddy
downloading now :)
You can also use the APK on Android that I modified. Https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/288802?page=38#comment-627… . All I've removed was the mock locations check. There's a bunch of other people using it who can vouch that it works
I just installed the APK. what do i need to do to be able to change my location?
@kmish: download Fake GPS from the Play store, search for a location (i.e. Port Melbourne), return back to the 7/11 app and clock Find My Best Local Price. Lock in however much you want, go back to Fake GPS and stop faking your location.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lexa.fakeg… is the app I use for faking my GPS
@Freighter: Tried the same, my 7 11 app says mock location detected and your account will be locked if too many instances of reported mock locations..huh.
You need to download my modified APK. Uninstall the app store one because I have a different signing signature to the original app. If you don't uninstall the original app my one won't install
@Freighter: Bookmarked your post from here (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/288802?page=38#comment-627…). Will give that a shot later on.
Thanks that worked instantly
How do you install the apk? the link is for a zip file? Sorry total noob
This is gold !
You sir are a god among men!
THANK YOU SIR
@4tran: Hey. I think you're download buggered up, because when I downloaded it again it worked fine. It should be called something like "bxctuj.apk".
@Freighter: Hey bud thx so far, I downloaded your APK, created a new account, downloaded Fake GPS, set it to Sydney but it still gives me local results (Melbourne), I've rebooted the phone etc..
Kept playing, working now, you're a champ!
@Freighter: awesome apk dude! where do you normally locate cheap fuel prices ? (for future references)
Says it isn't compatible with the older version.
???
@curvesandcubes: https://motormouth.com.au/
Search by capital city, zoom out and look for the dark green spots, click, find location, punch that into fakeGPS and away you go
Nox, looked with that name in PlayStore, couldn't find it. I know I am doing something wrong.
Nox on PC. Android emulator.
@IceCreamBandit: is this easiest and simplest way ? For those of us who do not have rooted phones. I dont really want to root my phone just for this 1 thing
Fairly easy to do. The alternative is to install Freighter's modded APK (see his above comment) and you can do it all from the phone with a PC.
Typo.
With modded APK, you can do mock location and lock prices on your phone without a PC
@IceCreamBandit: thanks for taking the time to explain. how do u do a mock location exactly with the modded APK?
i tried searching for cheapest fuel via the modded app, it shows my surroundings only
Use an app like 'Fake GPS' on Google Play to set your location, then lock price through the modded APK.
The modded APK just removes the mock location detection.
@IceCreamBandit: Can you explain the steps here?
I have 7-11 and Fake GPS already installed.
what does modded APK replaces? Fake GPS or 7-11 app? short steps pls.
Thanks
Modded APK replaces 7-11.
Steps
1 - find location for cheapest price
2 - go to fake GPS, set location from step 1.
3 - lock fuel price in modded APK.
Refer to https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/288802 for more info.
How to you change GPS location with Nox?
Yep works for me. Thanks for that! need extra kw's for my yaris
What a shame. I don't think you could be any more misinformed.
Sarcasm 101
🤦🏼♂️
Awesome find and super cheap, locked in baby!
Thanks for posting!
so if my car's tank has ULP, can i add this on top?
also if its empty, are there any benefits of using higher octane?
Yes. If your car uses 91 RON then you can upgrade to 95 or 98, without any problems whatsoever.
There are benefits, you will likely get higher milage between 0-10% higher based on many factors.
Also the 98 RON is marketed as having higher quality additives that are designed to cleam your fuel system. (Note, additives are highly regulated in Australia anyway and there isn’t anything low quality about any fuel sold in this country).
so if my car's tank has ULP, can i add this on top?
Yes
also if its empty, are there any benefits of using higher octane?
It depends on your car. At best it may increase performance/economy slightly (if the engine adjusts the timings accordingly). At worst it will be exactly the same as 91 RON.
edit: already answered by guidedlight
depends on car, my 20 yrs old bmw will sense how the fuel burns and adjust timing and the air fuel ratio to optimise if i run it on 98 octane …..many newer cars will do this also.
I'm in Toorak not port Melbourne, how do I get around location on ios?
Need to be jailbroken and install liberty (they added jailbreak detection recently) and a location faker tweak.
Skip that. Enjoy the premium fuel :)
Drive to Port Melbourne.
awesome. i don't even need to teleport to lock one in
Supreme making its move into fuel. These hypebeasts will seriously buy anything that has superficial supply constraints.
Don’t you have the BP offer on Amex? I just filled up ULP 98 for 112.49c/100L.
That's 1.1249 cents per litre.
My bad, thanks :) Filled up for 112.49c per Litre, that’s 16% less than this deal. I didn’t neg you by the way.
I locked in a similar error(?) price a couple of weeks ago at Northmead NSW for a 20c/litre discount at 7 eleven.
I don't think it's deliberate but ever since I will randomly do a price check in different areas. I haven't seen it again and this is the only other time I've heard of it happening. Next time I'll post to OzB!
Hey Buddy, follow this thread in the forums. They regularly post cheap prices there. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/288802?page=39#comment-630…
The reason it is so cheap for this servo is because they likely ran out of normal unleaded so they sell premium at the cheaper price. Regularly happens to Waverly Gardens + Hampton Park + Glen Waverley from my experience (in Vic)
Thanks Freighter, will check
@JTTheMan: If you are in NSW, you can do this:
1. Download the NSW govt's Fuel Check app
2. Set fuel type to 98 (or whichever fuel you want)
3. Limit the brand to 7-11
4. Enter any postcode, and click search
5. At the top of the search results, click on MAP
6. Zoom out so you can see the whole state
7. The cheapest fuel will be the one highlighted in RED
8. Keep zooming in on the red until you find the location of the cheapest fuel
9. Set your GPS spoof to that location.
Or you can skip all that and check out this website made by an ozbargainer
Thanks, is it possible to set a GPS spoof on an iPhone or is it just for Android?
Second that , any tips for iPhone/iOS?
Ok thanks. I'll drive from Sydney now.
Thanks OP - I'm taking a jet flight from Sydney to Port Melbourne now!
I've never used this 7-11 app before but I'm trying to "lock in" the price and it's asking me how many litres I want to buy and I need to add a credit card?
I thought it was just a matter of locking it in and then paying for however much you pump?
Unfortunately not. You have to lock in a certain amount of litres. I normally just lock in my fuel tank's capacity (45L).
If you locked in 30L and filled up 40L, you'd pay the price on the bowser for the extra 10L.
you have to put money in the app for it to allow you to lock.
itll only allow you to lock as much as money you have, but you don't have to pay with the app
You have to add credit to your 7-eleven account before you can lock in a price. The amount of credit determines the amount of locked in price fuel you can buy.
You can either use your 7-eleven credit or any other payment method when you actually purchase the fuel.
Thanks guys, yeah not quite as straight forward as I thought.
I guess that's how they lock in the "sale" if they've already got your money once you "lock-in" the price.
no - that's not necessary. Even if you lock in, you dont have to buy.
Yeah I know, but they still have $80-120 (depending on your tank size) of your money hostage… So even better for them lol they've got your money and they gave you nothing!
It is a textbook fuel "hedge" so you need to put your hard-earned up to secure your position.
The advantage is you're not bound to buy if the market moves against you.
Disadvantage is, obviously, they sit on your money.
You can use your loaded credit to pay for the fuel, or just leave the credit in there and pay another way.
First time user as well.
What happens in the situation where I've locked in $70 today and only manage to use $50 before the expiry on the 3rd?
I see they've frozen the money on my cc, but I guess it's only ever a hold?
@csider: The money taken out of your credit card is not a hold. It works in a similar way to topping up a public transport card (myki/opal). The $70 will go on the 7-eleven card balance, if you use $50 on fuel, there will be $20 left on it to spend at 7-eleven in the future.
@csider: Like Melb. Guy says above, it sits as a balance on your 7-11 app or "card". To be clear, there are two different ways you can pay for the fuel after you have filled up.
The way it works is that when you lock a price (up to the money value of your deposit balance), the app will display a barcode. Once you get to the pump, you just fill up as normal. When you go inside to pay, you need to have the cashier scan the barcode appearing in the app on your phone. This will apply the discount and adjust the price of the fuel that they have just rung up. The "price lock" part of the transaction is now done.
Then, you need to pay for the fuel, and you can either pay as you normally would - by cash/card - or you can pay with the deposited balance of your 7-11 app, which entails telling them to charge your app balance.
If you charge the app balance, it is just like paying with a gift card. Your app balance will reduce by the amount charged.
As I understand it, you can put in any amount of fuel, but the discount will only apply for quantities up to the amount you price locked. Once you use the barcode (for any amount of fuel, even $1), it goes away.
What happens in the situation where I've locked in $70 today and only manage to use $50 before the expiry on the 3rd?
The fuel lock expires once you use it. If you lock in $70 and find you only need $20 to fill the tank you don't get to keep the $50 remaining locked in, it just expires. I've chucked $90 in my account since that's the max I need to fill the tank on a bad day so the whole amount is covered by whatever I can lock-in. Previously only had $50 on my 7-11 locks so when I had to fill $80 worth of fuel $30 of it wasn't at the discount rate :(
I was more concerned in the situation where i locked in $70 and i only use $40 for fuel but they end up "stealing" my $30. B
But by all accounts, money is never taken out of your cc when you lock in, simply put on hold.
Couple other things. It's single use only and has to be used within 7 days of locking in.
You need to have equivalent $s loaded onto the 7/11 app card to lock in that many Litres.
So can you actually fill at any other 7-11 after this lock in, or do you need to fill up at the port Melbourne outlet?
anywhere…
Any gps tricks for iphone?
Yes, buy an android :)
Great, thanks!
Was able to scan from where I'm working in the CBD :)
I just got an email from woolworths/caltex for up to 18 cents off per litre and the bpme offer for 25% off, plus this one. Need to get out the calculator to work out which one is best.
Anyone know how to work out when I need to use my credit by? Not sure how long it has been since I loaded it.
7/11 App shows you expiry date of voucher.
not the voucher, I know that lasts for one week, I am asking about the credit I put on my account since I always pay instore with my amex and not with the app.
Doesn't show in app. Good question. I do the same. Need to find out. Now dont forget to tell me when you find out.
Expiry is 3 years from the date of last use.
the BP me one wins hand out, even with U98 at the top of the cycle now (1.73c/L) it still works out to be roughly 1.30 if you manage to just fill up $40. The only issue is rinse and repeat which is a PIT with such buggy app (and multiple amex of course)
Anyone know who supplies fuel to 7-11?
mobil
just locked in 44 litres, then realised that the lock-in voucher is only available for one use? was hoping to fill up my car and motorbike. i guess i'll have to get the missus to follow me to our nearest 7 eleven petrol station in the car. what a pain, though!
Make two accounts… it's actually more efficient since you can always cycle thru locks. Or when this opportunity (really cheap U98/5) arrives you double lock the price.
Hence you never FOMO a lock thinking there'll be a cheaper price drop.
Bring a jerry can
I do have a couple of 5 litre jerry cans - good idea!
Don't carry the jerry cans on your motorcycle!
