Changelog.

October 2026

Search anywhere, not just suburbs
Added

8 October 2026

The map's search gained a Place mode: type any town, landmark or shop — a Coles, a rest area, the Opera House — pick it from the list, and Apply recentres the map and finds the cheapest fuel around it. Home location can be set from a place pick too.

Opening hours and an open-now badge for WA stations
Added

8 October 2026

WA stations now list opening hours day by day, today highlighted, with an 'Open now', 'Closing soon' or 'Closed' badge worked out in Perth time. Map popups gained a Details button opening the station drawer. Phones are tappable. Stations without published hours look as before.

Clearer credit where our data comes from
Improved

6 October 2026

NSW, ACT and Tasmania prices all arrive via the OneGov API, and the station badges now name each feed by its real service (Servo Saver for Victoria, FuelWatch for WA). The Attribution page spells out each source's licence and terms.

Prices keep updating through daylight-saving week
Fixed

5 October 2026

NSW/ACT price updates briefly stopped when Sydney's clocks jumped forward at the start of daylight saving. We fixed how those clock changes are handled, so prices keep refreshing every 20 minutes through the switch-over week.

Station tables work with a keyboard
Improved

5 October 2026

You can now Tab to a station in the station tables and press Enter (or Space) to open its full details — reaching a station's price history, site features and freshness no longer needs a mouse.

Price charts now load in a fraction of a second
Improved

4 October 2026

Price-trend charts are up to ~60× faster thanks to pre-computed daily totals in the database. Chart endpoints now line up with whole UTC days, so a window starting mid-day shows that full day's prices — chart points are always complete calendar days.

Tasmania is live, ACT gets its own label
Added

3 October 2026

Tasmania is live: 290+ service stations with current prices from FuelCheck Tasmania, under the Tasmanian Fuel Code of Practice. Stations in the Australian Capital Territory now show correctly as ACT, not NSW, and filter properly. NSW/ACT prices now credit FuelCheck via OneGov.

September 2026

Station details everywhere
Added

29 September 2026

Tapping a station on the map or in the table now opens full details: all listed fuel prices with fuel-type badges, site features and restrictions where published, and price freshness at a glance.

c7b6cf9c796a6e58473b06710954a635c9d5f68f41
No more phantom prices
Fixed

29 September 2026

Stations that stop reporting to their data feed are now detected automatically, and their stale prices are hidden until they reappear — you won't be sent to a servo with an out-of-date price.

46d0d6afb80e73a8f9e63
Price columns read cleaner
Improved

29 September 2026

Prices now show as a simple number with the cents-per-litre unit in the column header, prices never get cut off at narrow widths, and popup price chips match the app theme in both colour schemes.

5a2a42bef6562b4d425637b2190757ecceee578da7
Map labels restored, map crashes fixed
Fixed

25 September 2026

An update had silently stripped all street and place labels from the map and occasionally crashed /map and /stations on load. Labels are back, and a guard keeps the pages rendering.

35fde0ce86655ed207672
Faster everywhere, round two
Improved

25 September 2026

We rebuilt how station and price data is fetched and delivered: map markers, station tables, and charts typically load three to ten times faster than before.

65c5e3a4605800
Sensible onboarding prompts
Fixed

21 September 2026

New visitors are now asked for their home location and then their default fuel type one at a time, instead of both popups appearing at once.

2949c20
Victoria & Western Australia: live fuel prices
Added

4 September 2026

Fuel Wizard now covers Victoria (Service Victoria Servo Saver) and Western Australia (FuelWatch) alongside NSW — station search, maps, and charts work state-wide, and suburb options show their state.

August 2026

Easier to find in search
Added

28 August 2026

Pages now carry proper titles, descriptions, structured data, and share previews, plus a sitemap and app manifest — searching for a fuel price tool should now find Fuel Wizard.

02d772762ec65b6417898b15c9c2
Friendly errors
Improved

27 August 2026

When something goes wrong you now get a plain-language notification or error page instead of a blank screen or a stack of console errors, including when tiles or route services are unreachable.

8e85c01b50e88912d46c7
Pages load pre-filled with your settings
Improved

24 August 2026

Your home location, fuel type, and map preferences are remembered properly now: pages appear already filled in with your data, and your setup follows you between tabs and devices.

fa4b5c6ea15085ada1421f311ec2f08f3191254c25
Search reworked: filter panels
Improved

19 August 2026

The map, charts, and stations pages share one tidy filter panel instead of a sprawl of loose inputs, making each page quicker to scan on desktop and phone alike.

62847abcf83e5ccc9cf148c6ade9
Pick your map style
Added

15 August 2026

The map now runs on our own self-hosted OpenStreetMap tiles with selectable styles (Basic, Light, Dark, and more). Your choice is remembered between visits.

89bbf5ac619f42d8ac53d
Search by suburb
Added

11 August 2026

You can now search prices by suburb as well as by radius: pick a suburb boundary, set a home suburb with one tap, and the map and charts pages toggle between the two search modes.

2d6e41a51d2a5c9b4342fda1f32d96bc902d3802db03a8b5b
Suburb boundaries kept accurate
Fixed

8 August 2026

Suburb boundary data now refreshes from the current government data source, updates are applied atomically, and a broken query that periodically blanked suburb search has been fixed.

5901640b0ae07a96a0fd932f61c1
Directions in plain English
Added

6 August 2026

Route planning between stations now shows natural-language turn instructions ('Turn left onto...'), and clearly says so when a route can't be found.

6216a6f

July 2026

Price updates made reliable
Fixed

28 July 2026

Fixed a class of bugs where scheduled fuel price updates silently stopped running or new price entries collided, and database upgrades now apply automatically on deploy.

7217219a9c08c23bc325c

April 2026

Smoother pages, kinder dark map
Fixed

15 April 2026

Fixed nagging errors that could leave pages stuck or blank after navigation, and retuned the map tiles for dark mode so streets and labels read clearly at night.

2af377ce700c66

February 2026

Faster, more reliable map tiles
Improved

17 February 2026

The map now draws from a tile server we operate ourselves instead of borrowing OpenStreetMap's public servers — the map loads faster and no longer depends on third-party capacity.

1049706

June 2025

Built for your phone
Added

15 June 2025

A proper mobile layout arrived for the map, stations, and charts pages — usable tables, sensible map heights, and controls that fit small screens.

May 2025

Much faster station search
Improved

Plan a refuelling stop along a route
Added

28 April 2025

You can now plot a route between two points on the map and see stations along the way, with a route summary.

5d4f716fb52e41125e68d
Smoother first-run experience
Improved

12 April 2025

New users are walked through choosing a location and fuel type instead of landing on an empty, error-covered page.

5807a2c
Closed stations disappear
Improved

11 April 2025

Stations that no longer appear in the official reference data are automatically retired from the site, so you're not sent to a servo that shut down.

a03c3376bba870

March 2025

Price history per station, smarter search
Added

5 March 2025

Select stations on the charts page to see their daily price history, search for a station by name, and click anywhere on the map to set your search location.

The charts page shows daily average fuel prices within your search radius, so you can tell whether to fill up today or wait.

7059634ebbc49b

February 2025

Dark mode by default
Changed

The app now opens in dark mode, matching what most people expect, with the light theme still one click away.

January 2025

The map page, rebuilt
Improved

8 January 2025

ff6f2f3d8db75209c261c

December 2024

Know how far you're driving
Improved

27 December 2024

18897693c1f9680fec99e2f59a69
Suburbs on the map
Added

7 December 2024

Suburb boundaries are drawn on the map and you can jump to any suburb by name from the location picker.

November 2024

Remembers your fuel type and home
Added
