Member feature · Commute Alerts

Cheap fuel, before you leave.

Set a route and a threshold. We watch every forecourt on that route, and when one drops below your cap, you get an email timed to land just before your commute. No push at 2pm, no 'you might have saved' digest tomorrow. A decision, ready when you pick up your phone.

4.1p below your 142p threshold, and 8p below the London average for E10. The station is 0.4 miles off your route — a single extra roundabout.

§ I · Signal, not noise

A week where something was worth doing.

Five silent days and two alerts. The silence isn’t a broken pipeline — it’s the whole product. You only hear from us when something on your route has dropped below your cap, so every email carries weight.

Two alert emails, five silent days. Every email is a decision worth making; no noise for noise’s sake.
§ II

How it works.

  1. 01

    Set a route

    Origin postcode, destination postcode. The commute, the school run, or the Saturday trip to your in-laws — whatever you drive often enough that the price matters.

  2. 02

    Set a threshold

    The pence-per-litre cap you want us to watch for. A useful number is 5-10p below the current national average — aggressive enough that an alert means a real saving, lax enough that you hear from us now and then.

  3. 03

    Set an alert time & days

    The email arrives at this time on days you've selected. 07:00 weekdays is typical for a commute alert; weekend-only routes just leave weekdays off.

  4. 04

    Silence on every other day

    If nothing on your route beats the threshold, we don't email. A day without an alert means the market is ordinary. A day with an alert means a decision worth making.

§ III

What you get.

  • ◆Two routes on Member, ten on Fleet. Each with its own fuel type, threshold, alert time, and active days.
  • ◆Route-aware filtering via Smart Route — alerts only fire for stations within a mile of your actual driving path, not a radius around your postcode.
  • ◆Alert-time email delivery — emails land within minutes of the time you set, not randomly during the day.
  • ◆Native web push alongside email — a tap on your phone's lock screen if push is enabled, plus the email as backup.
  • ◆Automatic cooldowns so you don't get the same alert three days running when a station holds its price below threshold.

§ IV

Questions,
answered.

01When does the email actually land?
At or shortly before the alert time you set. If you say 07:15, the worker checks prices around 07:10 against your threshold and, if something qualifies, sends the email so it's waiting when you pick up your phone. Not a push mid-afternoon, not a batch digest tomorrow — a useful email before the commute you set it for.
02How many routes can I have?
Member gets two routes (enough for a commute + school run or outbound + return). Fleet gets ten. Each route has its own threshold, alert time, and days-of-week — you can silence weekends or only run Monday/Friday if that matches how you drive.
03What if no forecourt on my route is cheap enough?
No email that day. We don't send 'nothing changed' noise. You only hear from us when a station on your actual route is below the threshold you set — so when an email arrives, it means something worth doing.
04How is this different from generic price alerts?
Two things. First, it uses Smart Route — we only watch stations within a mile of the straight line between your origin and destination, not a radius around your postcode. Second, the timing is yours — the email is timed to arrive before a specific commute, not pushed whenever something changes. Both matter: a cheap station five miles off your route at 3pm is a push notification you'd rightly ignore.
05Does it work with diesel / super unleaded / HVO?
Yes. Each route remembers the fuel type you usually buy (set in your default profile, or per-route if they differ). The threshold and alert are evaluated against the price of that fuel at every station on your route.
