Petrol Spy shows the prices all over Melbourne. Sometimes prices vary wildly even in the same suburb.
Yeah, I use that and it's really good. It also shows you a graph of average prices, it's interesting to look at the different patterns in different capital cities.
I have found there are a few places that seem to go up first, then the rest follow over a week or so. So far there have not been any going up again, so I should be good for at least a few days.
If you're clever enough to fake your gps and careful with making sure your app is closed before setting up the gps you can put yourself close to a cheaper 7-11, lock in the price, close the 7-11 app then reset your gps and don't open the app again for awhile so they don't detect you zooming around unrealistically.
