Looks like following Countdown pulling out, AA SmartFuel is shutting down.

I also got an email from Countdown:

Everyday Rewards is coming 1 February 2024

We are launching a new loyalty programme early next year that will replace Onecard and we’re proud to announce bp as our foundation partner.

Sounds like without BP and Contdown, AA SmartFuel aren't able to continue.

This effort is offset by paying more for your initial 3 at full price.

If petrol is $3 per litre and the discount is 10c per litre, you pay $4 more total across your 3 fills of $40 each, then save $12 on your second fill, a total saving of $8 extra across two fills.

Honestly it seems there must be other ways to cut costs that are more effective but if every dollar counts then it helps a little.

Just cut 5km/h off your average/typical speed.

Quickest, easiest way to get better fuel efficiency.

Accelerate more gently too.
