Question 1

What's the catch?

Accepted Answer

Nothing! We provide this service for free, for anyone. We hope that you find it useful, and that it helps you find a great deal on fuel! Fuel Wizard was started as a passion project, and it will remain entirely free, for as long as we can host it for you.

Question 2

Why haven't I heard of Fuel Wizard before?

Accepted Answer

We do not advertise, and rely entirely on word-of-mouth and search engines to gain users. If you like Fuel Wizard, please tell everyone you know about it!

Question 3

How can I help the development effort?

Accepted Answer

If you are a developer, please take a look at our source repository on Gitea. You can get in touch with us and contribute there! If you are looking to financially support us, please use the donations link to make a contribution. All contributions go towards further feature development, and improving our hosting.

Question 4

What data do you collect?

Accepted Answer

Nothing. Seriously. Our web server may log the occasional IP address if there is an error, or if abuse/rate limiting occurs, which helps us to track down these errors, but we do not collect anything else. There are no tracking cookies, advertisements, or otherwise in the web app, and we do not have user accounts.

Question 5

What makes Fuel Wizard different from other fuel price applications?

Accepted Answer

Fuel Wizard was a response to limitations with state-government provided fuel price applications. Whilst these have been a positive step for empowering consumers with open data, these apps have a long way to go in terms of functionality. Some third-parties have created fuel price applications, but we hope to provide an application which is modern, fast, simple to use, and contains intelligent price analytics, which can help our users to find better deals on fuel.
