Freshness rules

Fuel Watch NI shows station prices with a freshness signal, so you can judge how recently a forecourt updated before you drive.

Green

Updated in the last 1–5 days. Included in normal rankings and “fresh” views.

Amber

Updated 6–9 days ago. Still visible, but the last-updated time matters more.

Red

10+ days without an update. We don’t trust it enough to show as a live price.

What does “fresh 24 hours” mean?

“Fresh 24h” counts stations where either petrol or diesel has been updated within the last 24 hours.
