A little-known app has been dubbed a ‘secret weapon’ for Aussies struggling with rising petrol prices.
A Melbourne mum recently revealed she uses the My 7-Eleven app to lock in the price of fuel for seven days – and she’s not alone.
‘It pays to have the 7-Eleven fuel app as fuel stations are going up – as you can see you can lock it in and use it at any one,’ she wrote in a budget Facebook group.
The woman also shared images of the rate of petrol on the day compared to her lock in price.

The day she visited the petrol station, the price per litre for Supreme+ 98 fuel was $2.15 but the mum’s lock in rate was $1.72.
By using the app she managed to save $13.94 and her total cost was reduced from $70.02 to $56.08.
In the comments others praised the app as they’ve been able to lock in rates as low as $1.50 per litre.

‘Just filled up on 91 at $1.52,’ one person wrote, another added: ‘Around us has been down to $1.50 something so I locked in at $1.53 and they all started going up to $1.93.’
A third added: ‘I use this but also double check on Petrol Spy app as it shows all surrounding petrol stations not just 7Eleven.’
