To get this price you will need a android device with the following free apps - 7-Eleven Fuel & FakeGPS Free.

1 - Open the FakeGPS app and set your location to "Bacchus Marsh" press the play button to engage location
2 - Open the 7-Eleven Fuel and you will get a notification about cannot perform action
3 - Completely close both apps, reopen 7-Eleven Fuel app and lock in the price of 114.9 and fill up at your local 7-11

See comments for other locations with cheaper prices (continually fluctuating)

    Prices are on the up around here (Maitland area). Greenhills has gone up to almost $1.30 from $1.17

  • DogGunn on 13/12/2016 - 16:57

    It could be argued that you are using deception to obtain a financial advantage (or obtaining property through financial deception), which is illegal in all States and Territories. Further, you would be using a computer device to obtain financial advantage through deception by unauthorised access which is another crime in itself.

    While it might be the difference between $2-4, it doesn't change that you're using such methods are possibly a crime.

    I'd be treading wisely.

        There is no offence for deceiving a computer, there is an offence for obtaining financial advantage or property via deception, involving the use of a computer.

          @hardya:
          I've had a read of the actual case: http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/nsw/NSWCCA/2016/260.html

          It appears it is because "All this was in accordance with the terms of the contract between it and Mr Moore" (see paragraph 42-44), the person was authorised to money being loaned by the bank (as per the terms and conditions) and therefore did not deceive the bank, or obtain financial advantage through deception.

          The same cannot be said when using a mock location to get cheaper fuel (albeit the the two events are on a completely different monetary scale). I am not suggesting that the police are going to be knocking on your door about this, but it doesn't change the fact that it is extremely fishy.

      They'll just make it so older versions of the app can't top up the fuel. It's not that hard to stop people from doing it.

  • Agret on 13/12/2016 - 18:33

    I used to use this app legit and have $60 on it but a few versions ago they added a root check and now I can't even use it because my device is rooted. I'm using system less root but when I disable root then it detects the xposed manager. I have the xposed root cloak module active but it still detects. What do you guys use to bypass the root detection on this?

        Oh thanks heaps man just uninstalled my version and installed that 1.04 and it's working again now. I seem to remember the app forcing me to update in the past so I think this version must be before they added that version check.

    • blehgg on 12/01/2017 - 17:56

      Same I did heaps trying to get this working -

      They use the same root detection in an app called "RootBeer Sample"

      Unpacked their code to try and work around the checks - but was a PAIN in the butt…

      • Agret on 12/01/2017 - 22:55

        Haha I did the same thing don't know why I didn't try the far easier method of just downloading an earlier version until this guy pointed it out.

    • Hogg on 13/12/2016 - 19:40

      How did you get past the Mock locations error? Opening and closing the apps as others have stated didn't work for me.

      • chingy213 on 13/12/2016 - 19:43

        1. Make sure you close the apps properly. I mean task kill them off. Dont just push the middle button and put them in suspend mode. Make sure you kill the 7-11 app off and the fake gps app off properly and then re-open the apps according to the instructions in the first post

        2. use the fake GPS app provided in this thread, not one of Play store.

        • Hogg on 13/12/2016 - 19:46

          What's the difference between the fake GPS app in the direct link and the Play store one?

        • chingy213 on 13/12/2016 - 19:47

          @Hogg:

          i installed both, i think same developer, but only the one in the thread worked.

      • drus24 on 14/12/2016 - 13:01

        As per chingy213, and:
        1. Make sure the locations setting is in on "High accuracy", as opposed to "Device only" (Ie. "Use GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or mobile networks to determine location")
        2. If the app has problems finding location, then retry.

        Hope this helps.

        • Hogg on 14/12/2016 - 13:11

          Both done. And followed other posters' instructions but the Fuel app keeps detecting the Mock Location being enabled.

        • drus24 on 14/12/2016 - 13:16

          Hmm, that odd Hogg…

          I was repeatedly trying to get it to work and in the end was changing the location setting which did it. I assume that you've already killed off the apps? Only thing I can think of is force stopping the app through Settings>Apps(7-Eleven Fuel/FakeGPS Free)>Force Stop.

        • Hogg on 08/01/2017 - 15:33

          @drus24:

          Tried that as well.

          The Fuel app keeps detecting that Mock Locations is enabled even if FakeGPS app is closed.

        • Rod71 on 08/01/2017 - 19:29

          @Hogg: You have to turn mock locations off at some stage. I don't have a step by step way to do it down pat. But I manage to get it working within 5 minutes.

        • Hogg on 08/01/2017 - 20:02

          @Rod71:

          I tried doing that but that stops the FakeGPS from faking my location.

          It would be awesome if you could let me know once you work out a consistent way to get it working. Thanks!

          For me, it didn't work on my Xiaomi but it worked on a OnePlus One.

          Someone replied and said on Xiaomi you can still do it, but you need to turn airplane mode on/off. Tried it a couple of times on my Xiaomi but still can't get it working.

          During the two occasions I've got it working on my OPO, I did not (need to) turn mock locations off.

          Every time I tried turning mock locations off on my Xiaomi, it would then revert to my real location.

    This isn't a new thing and plenty of people have been doing this for quite a while.
    Someone I know owns a 7 11 servo and having spoke to them about this mock location thing in the past, they have confirmed they don't lose any money because of the cheaper prices. They get paid by 7 11 based on the quantity of fuel sold and get compensated by 7 11 head office for difference in price.

    So, all worried about the franchisee owner losing money because of this can rest.

    Enjoy this while it lasts. Surely 7 11 will enforce blocking the devices/accounts more than before because of the attention the thread has got / is getting

      While I'm all for sharing legal public access deals as the OzBargain spirit, I do think those exploits and hack (using the deal not as intended by the provider is best kept and shared privately.

      You might have a surge of people taking advantage but then it got patched quickly. The benefit of few people over a long period of time will likely outweight short time surge.

      Having said that, no idea how 7-11 will fix this unless they won't let the app run on jailbrokem or rooted devices.

    Used this and the attendant seemed to have trouble scanning the code, some different beeping. Then he decided to question where I was able to get a cheap price lock, to which I responded "up the coast", he asked when so I said "earlier today", and he made a strange hmph noise.

    I'm guessing they're well onto this and looking to do something about it. Probably investigating what and why.
