There was a fuel duty rise of 2p on the 1st of April. Obviously you missed that one...........

There is to be further rise in September which was announced in last weeks budget.

TT has indicated that the US740's will revise gas prices up to 6 times a day. I'll let you know. Wink

I'm getting diesel prices round here of all under 98p / litre. I haven't seen anything under £1.03 for weeks. Petrolprices.com has them ranging from 114p (!!!!!!) down to 100p (no idea where that one is). I certainly agree that something doesn't appear to be working. Just a thought - is it too much paranoia to think that TomTom are in fact acting in good faith and doing everything right, but that the staions themselves are submitting - shall we say - imaginative prices to the database? No need to answer by the way, it was rhetorical Confused

If it turns out to be true that the US ones are updated 6 times daily then we really are being stiffed again. Pity TT didn't do a deal with petrolprices to use their data......

Can't confirm that it's 6 times a day every day, but I can verify it's at least a few times. Generally correct on the price reports. Interesting traffic, and perhaps not really adding much to the route considerations, and certinly the method of presentation could be much better. I'll post more on that later. As a reminder, this is on a US740.

FINALLY!!! A price change!!!

0.40M 1.04 BP
0.55M 1.02 TOTAL
0.75M 1.03 BP
1.10M 1.04 BP
1.10M 1.03 TOTAL
1.10M 1.03 TOTAL

Massively out of date though.... If the TomTom Services were available separately (i.e. £1-2 for each service) i wouldn't be paying for this at all...

Yes, me also. Similar prices to yours.

I've noticed after the latest app. update that the fuel prices seem to be retrieved and downloaded directly from the TT servers each time (even immediately after updating via home) rather than instantly appearing when selected. They also seem a lot more accurate (although that wouldn't have been difficult Laughing

).
