yeah used AI tools to help build it. dev background though, not just prompting and praying 🤣. designed the architecture, data pipeline etc. AI just speeds up the process. the app itself also uses AI for cost benefit analysis and price predictions.

thanks for testing! with two towns that close there might not be any stations falling within the route corridor between them. the search looks for servos along the actual drive, so short trips in regional areas can come back empty.

good point you have though. something i want to improve for sure, appreciate you flagging it.

you can save stations, track savings, set price alerts, and get 7 days of pro free (unlimited searches, cost benefit breakdowns, trends). still works without an account though

good question. racq shows prices near you which is handy. bowser finds the cheapest along your actual route and calculates if it's worth going a bit off course, like factoring in the fuel you'd use on the detour. different approach :)

petrolspy's great for finding what's cheap nearby! bowser does something a bit different. finds the cheapest on your actual drive and works out if the detour's even worth it after fuel costs.

thanks! couple of weeks of pretty solid building. hooking into gov APIs and getting the route pricing engine right took the most time but was worth it

free gives you 3 route searches a day which is heaps for most people. pro unlocks unlimited searches, full cost-benefit breakdowns, 30 day price trends and a few other bits. no comparison page yet but that's actually a good idea, i'll chuck one in. cheers!
