A few weeks!!!!!!
Kinds of contradicts the reply I got
| Quote: | I understand that when you are trying to update the Fuel Prices on your device you are getting an error: Invalid Archive File - Fuel Prices.
I would like you to know that you are getting this error due to a temporary issue with the TomTom server.
We are aware of this issue and it is under investigation with High priority.
There is no current fix for this as of yet. Our developers are trying to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. Please bear with us.

So High priority=as quickly as possible=a few weeks
Time must fly by quickly in Amsterdam!! |

You're now up to three pages of concern over these fuel prices.
Did nobody read the link in my post - the fourth post in the thread?

The only reason I am installing the fuel prices is that I have just changed car, and fuel type from LPG to diesel. I am trying to locate 'potentially' cheaper filling up places.
Once I have a few regular filling up places the fuel prices will come off again.
Just have to keep to a strict 30 near any fuel stations in the meantime  |

Nearly a week later, and this problem persists. |

Some would say that there have always been issues with the TT fuel prices  |

My Fuel Prices have also stopped working my subscription runs out in 2015. I agree that some of the fuel prices were somewhat inacurate but they did give a guide and in my area were reasonably accurate. They did give an indication where fuel was the cheapest. Certainly if driving a couple of hundred miles to an unknwn area far better than nothing. I do hope TomTom can come up with a fix. After removing the prices in Home to try and get an update, Im left with nothing not even a prompt to download the corrupt update.

It's still coming up with about a corrupt data file. Just bloody great. So helpful NOT!
I'm loaning my 750 to my parents who are pensioners & as the saying goes every little helps when it comes to fuel prices & it doesn't work...

| I think they're getting fed up with me asking when it will be fixed as the last response I got said they would either email me or post a message on the website. |

| Fuel updates seem to be working again. I was just offered two updates; filling stations and fuel prices, both of which have worked OK - or rather without an error message appearing. |
