My fuel problem is a file download problem is between TTHome and the TT Servers, not the Go in this case.

I thought I knew every Ultimate diesel pump for miles around me but needed fuel while I was a few miles away so I thought I'd see what my Go540 suggested.

It picked out a BP station I knew didn't. No surprise there then - but it happened to be en route to one I knew did have it so I took a glance as I drove by.

Lo and behold, a banner by the entrance advertising Ultimate, and yes they had it so I filled up.

The surprise came when I commented on the banner to the cashier. They changed the pump on Wednesday, had their first delivery on Thursday morning and made their first sale - to me - on Thursday afternoon.

How the hell the Go540 knew that I can't guess; but full marks to TT!

Can you really be as specific as "BP Ultimate Diesel" when searching for fuel prices with the x40 units ??

Yes-ish. You can select "Ultimate diesel" in Home's fuel price update menu but the 540 then offers Total and Shell as well as BP so it doesn't seem to distinguish it from the Excellium and V-Power alternatives.

Just got my Final(?) fix for 940 Fuel Prices from TT.
Told me to do a Factory Reset then go through the Set up again.
.
Did so and also copied MapSetting.cfg from my backup to restore my Favourites.
.
Glad to say everything is working OK including Fuel Prices.
BUT.....
Fuel Prices still doesn't show in "TTServices/MyServices" which surely it should?
Also I still don't have the "FuelStationsEU.toc" file in my W&CE map directory. Seems to be working fine without it though so does anybody know what it does?

AFAIK the toc file is a table of contents file for installing the other files so you only need it in the download and install process, not for actual use.

Thanks for that Mr. T.
.toc - Table of Contents makes sense to me.
Presumably this is just an information file more than a necessity - will have to wait and see what happens after the next update.
Will get back onto TT about Fuel Prices still not appearing in TTServices/MyServices.
