Further Info/Tips

There are two "tricks" that can be extremely beneficial as there is a common trend experienced by 7-Eleven App users: 1) If you receive an error processing your credit/debit card, you can purchase a 7-Eleven Gift Card in-store and apply the credits instantly onto the App. 2) You do not need to use the funds on your App to pay for the fuel, you can lock-in the price and pay via Cash or Card at the checkout saving the hassle of constantly topping up, gift cards, etc.

Master131 spends a lot of time creating and maintaining the script at Project Zero Three that we all know and love.

        That's absolutely true.. And person may be trustworthy.. But things can change at anytime.. so if you want to be cautious change it, theres no harm in doing that and takes a mintue. Saying that.. it's all on you.

        It most definitely is sent to the server. Fuel locking cannot be achieved client-side in a browser due to CORS restrictions. This mechanism prevents web requests to servers (7-Eleven) that do not explicit give permission to websites (like Ethergroup) to access their (7-Eleven's) content.

      If you want to exercise caution then just run the code on your own machine.

    So just tried to lock in using bluestacks and got an error saying my account was blocked for card transactions. Seems I can use the credit on the account but can't add more. I have only tried once to add more and got the same error. Anyone else had this experience?

    • pepsicles on 02/03/2019 - 21:53

      just add credit on your phone and lock using bluestacks in that case

      • AsSeenOnTv on 02/03/2019 - 22:08

        I guess my greater concern was they were on to me and the next step might be to freeze my whole account with funds on it. I was also wondering if it could just be an error rather than a block.
        EDIT so just added $10 on the phone no probs.

    A little bit of an update for those who use my Python script for themselves or the public version of the online fuel locker (https://fuel.ethergroup.com.au), I have added a page that lets you verify the price of a manual lock in. It should be working completely fine but if there is an error let me know. It's a little complicated to work with the lock in page with only one account :o)

    So the step now is this:
    -> Log in as usual
    -> Click either automatic or manual.
    -> Automatic will automatically (try to) lock in the most amount of fuel for the cheapest price of your fuel type the project zero three page says.
    -> Manual lets you choose your own postcode*/suburb and then it will land you on a confirmation page where it will tell you the price it found. If you continue it will then lock in the maximum amount of fuel you can.
    —-> If you don't like that price and want to search for a different suburb just press cancel.

    -> Now that you have locked in a price you should logout.

    *I'll work on the multiple postcode bug a bit later. I have an idea on how to solve it, I just have to find the time to do it. The bug refers to if you try to lock in in a postcode with multiple suburbs it makes an error i.e. 2200 for Bankstown in Sydney

    • L45er on 07/03/2019 - 13:46

      Does anyone have any tips on how to build this python script as a simple Docker container?
      I had a bit of a play around with compiling for Docker on my DS916+ Synology but couldn't get it to work.
      Ideally I'd like to set the script up as a Docker container and run 24/7 with the Flask internal port mapped to an arbitrary external port. Thinking this would then basically be the same as the fuel.ethergroup.com website but running as local version on my local network.

      The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.

      mate, what do we need to do when you get this error.

      Oops, error:
      We’ve updated the app to make it better and more reliable for you. Please update now to ensure you have all the new features, latest security and best experience available.
      Refresh

      • Freighter on 19/08/2019 - 15:50

        Edit settings.py so that the APP_VERSION is "1.8.0.2027".

        You can also download the latest version of the script if you want, it has new features since this post was made.

        On Android try this: type in cd FuelLock or whatever the name of the folder where the script is downloaded into.
        Then type in nano settings.py - this will open up a text editor.

        You'll need to scroll down until you see APP_VERSION. To do that, you'll have to hold the Volume UP button and press the s key for down and the press the d key for right. (Imagine the W A S D as an up/down/left/right keys on a keyboard).

        Then change the APP_VERSION, press the ctrl button above the keyboard and tap the letter X , it should prompt you to save the file. Press Y for yes, then press enter.

        Now run the script again.

          It lets you lock the price by selecting the fuel type automatically selecting the best available price. There is a manual option as well where you can select the suburb.

        • Freighter on 06/03/2019 - 12:53

          That's how it works. Eventually I'll write a guide on the site on how to lock in but I think it's fairly straightforward.

          You may need to logout and then re-login on the app for the voucher to show up

        And if you only use say $40, you only pay for what you use right? The rest of the account still stays in credit.

        What fuel & price are you getting there? I'm only seeing 95 for 132.9

        I'm keeping an eye on Cheltenham/Moorabbin, as there's a woolies/caltex (North Cheltenham on Warrigul Rd) which as 91-115.9, 95-127.9, 98-134.9 so hopefully a 11-7 will follow soon.

          Looks like Hampton Park (vic) has 95 for 123.9

          The TGP keeps rising (up over a cent since fri & 2c on the week). I wonder if they're gearing up for a drop in time for the NSW election on the 23rd?

            • [Deactivated] on 11/03/2019 - 21:53

              @cwongtech: Wildly speculation. With the banking Royal Commission, I wonder if the petroleum industry is concerned that they're on the radar (it'd be pretty popular with the voters). They can blame falling $Au, Singapore refinery prices , whatever, but we are one of the few countries in the world which have such wild pricing cycles.

              Look at the retail price of Caltex in Singapore, it's fluctuated a cent or two since 1 Jan

              http://www.chenlim.com/fuel/

              Yet we have these large pricing cycles which as fair as I can tell aren't related to anything to do with costs.

                @[Deactivated]: Overseas Asian countries don't have much fuel fluctuations due to govt regulations.
                Most of the fuel is sold by state owned enterprises controlled by sovereign wealth.

                In aus, not sure if it's related to discounting. So either 130c daily or… 115c to 145c range. In other words, the high peak subsidises the cheap troughs.

                $3 box of shapes but I'd rather pay for $1.50. Otherwise aldi sells it daily for $2.20. It's a hungry example.

              @Levathian: Yeah i accept the price (or the price cycle bottoms) are increasing.

              The price has been fairly stable for the past 10days or so, which is unusual. So I was wondering (speculating) if they're holding so they can co-incidentally drop around NSW election and then maybe the same for the federal election (which will come after the expect high in the price cycle around the School Hols-Easter-ANZAC holiday period.

                  @Levathian: In theory they could, but they don't (I'm happy with that). I think the price cycles are fairly unique to Australia.

                  anyway I was just wondering loudly if the current cycle lows would co-incide with elections.

    I had an issue today where the cashier scanned the voucher and it printed a little receipt saying "scan/lock invalid" or something to that effect. I didn't push the subject, just paid for the fuel at the normal price and left.

    But just wondering if this was just a little glitch, where he should have just scanned the bar-code again? or if maybe 7/11 are starting to smarten up?

    I locked it a few days ago in a Victorian location (not that far from where I tried to use it).

      I didn't push the subject, just paid for the fuel at the normal price and left.

      You should take a photo of your receipt and upload into your 7/11 app.
      They will credit it back to you.

              @movieman: I'm being told there's no unleaded petrol in that area, of any octane? And I tested it elsewhere and no issues?
