New & Improved! The Price History Chart

Posted by admin in Development, News on October 30th, 2008
October 30th, 2008

Dear PetrolWatchers, your kind patience has finally paid off! The long awaited Price History chart is now ready! Instead of the previous teensy weensy chart on the Homepage, we’ve expanded it and placed it on a dedicated page. Lagi best! :-) Wait…there’s more! Instead of a 3 month window, you can view prices across 24 months now as well.

Some of you have requested to map pump prices against crude oil prices. Unfortunately as of now, we’ve not be able to locate any comprehensive data sources. If you know where of one, do share it with us. And as usual, feel free to let us have your feedback and comments on this feature.

Cheers!
