data goes back to january but coverage is patchy early on as we were doing full fetches rather than continuous polling. march onwards is complete.

bespoke design but used tailwind for styling. charts are recharts. no dashboard lib.

I would love too. But I have not found an API that surfaces this data. This data is only public as the CMA determined the market was fundamentally broken.

Yeah aware of some data quality issues in the feed, bad coordinates, missing brands, occasional obviously wrong prices. I filter out anything outside 100-300p and exclude stations flagged as closed but there's definitely still noise in there. check the methodology page for the full detail on how i clean it.

On the colours, esso and shell are both red brands so they ended up close on the chart. will fix that.

checked the db, tesco e5 is 163.8p average across 292 stations in the last 21 days. Worth spot checking a few specific stations if it still looks off to you.
