AA petrol price comparison service closing...
 

Received email this morning -

"...Dear Petrolbusters user,

You are receiving this email because you are a registered user of the AA Petrolbusters service.

We have been running Petrolbusters as a free service on www.theAA.com since 2001. Unfortunately, the significant cost of running the service can no longer be justified given the relatively small number of regular users.

We have, therefore, decided to stop the Petrolbusters onlineService from December 9th this year.

If your interest is in regional variation and general trends rather than local prices, you will still be able to find monthly fuel price reports on the AA website covering UK prices and an overseas comparison...."


A great shame - I for one found the site to be really useful. AFAIK the only other comparable service (ispypetrol) closed a couple of years ago.

For those who don't know, the services allowed you to compare pump prices for all petrol stations within a certain area of your home, office, factory etc.

Does anyone know of any alternatives?

Obviously there is no profit in the site so it goes, never mind about helping your members. As for alternatives, I don't know of any myself.
