How Are You Going to Manage without The 7/11 Fuel Lock App?

Windows7forever on 30/06/2020 - 12:29

I'm very annoyed that 7/11 have overhauled the whole app and changed the system requirements to Android V9.

I am quite content using my 2 year old China phone running Android v8.0 and have no intention to upgrade. It's not an old phone and can run virtually any other current app on the market.

I will be sourcing my fuel mostly from Independents who are usually cheaper than the big players. I may also source some shop-a-docket petrol discounts, but I'm really not a big ColesWorth customer.

I will NOT be using 7/11 to fill my car.

How is everybody else managing without the app?

    Costco fuel all the way, baby.

    • Ryanek on 30/06/2020 - 17:12

      Yep right now in my area:
      Caltex: 115.9
      Coles Express: 116.9
      7 Eleven: 115.9
      Costco: 98.7

        shows you how much the system is rigged

          Costco fuel is a loss leader, just like their hot dogs.

  • Seraphin7 on 30/06/2020 - 12:43

    Happy with my local independent … consistently lower prices than any of the chains!

  • Gracey on 30/06/2020 - 12:46

    3 year old iphone still runs the most current ios, and probably will for another 3 years so no issues

      Using a hack to take more advantage of something that is genuinely a good thing. The sense of entitlement here…

  • Daabido on 30/06/2020 - 13:15

    Buy the new CutCo EdgeCom Interslice phone.

    Diesel doesn’t yo-yo like petrol. Doesn’t bother me.

    Costco. Often cheaper than even the 7-11 best. Only downside is they don't have 91, just ethanol 94.

    • jimdotpud on 30/06/2020 - 15:28

      costco moorabbin VIC has 91

  • Levathian on 30/06/2020 - 13:27

    Puma + racq 4c/L off it is I guess

  • netjock on 30/06/2020 - 14:50

    I knew buying the Xiaomi A2 for like $200, 2 years ago would come in handy. On latest Android.

  • bazingaa on 30/06/2020 - 15:11

    Flash a custom rom with latest Android version. But for me, nearby other places (United/Caltex) has cheaper petrol than 7-11

    Fuel lock was handy. Disappointed I can't download the new App on my 2017 phone and don't really have much reason to upgrade it, but can still time the cycles to achieve lowest prices.

  • seraphim2017 on 30/06/2020 - 16:29

    Never used it, except for freebies every now and then! Just hop onto fuelcheck as and when I need fuel and the price is trending down and buy in typically the bottom quarter of the market price wide. Lucky enough to only use a tank or two a month so can sync with cycles.

    Woolies 4c Voucher + 5% Off e-gift cards usually cuts it for me. e.g. P98 is 144 at my local woolies, which makes it (144-4)-5%=133c

    • Tiggrrrrr on 08/07/2020 - 01:06

      Exactly. Costco U98 today is 116.7.

      Woolies is 123.9 - 4c/l - 5% = 113.9

        Minimum will be 10cpl off

  • Tames71 on 01/07/2020 - 13:52

    I can't use the app anymore because it's no longer compatible with my device.

  • yacman on 21/07/2020 - 21:35

    anyone been able to make it run on an older ios with JB?

    thought it would be easy but seems to be harder than I thought
