Here are some mockups how such a module might look:

• All/selected prices from one station:
  
  (Note: The boxes have classes that identify the fuel and can be highlighted, if wanted.)

• Prices from several stations:
  

The reason behind this differentiation: Instead of four calls, like in the second mode, there’s only one call in the first mode. Why is this important? Load time, traffic, …

At the bottom of each box we see the last time the price was updated. I’m not quite satisfied with the mockup, yet.

One thing I’m trying to work out in the design at the moment is adding some sort of “advice” that lets you know if the price is good. What I had in mind was an arrow element that would show if the current price is higher or lower (or same) than the last one.
And similar to that how about adding the highest and the lowest price of the last 7 days so you can make a decission based on that? That’d mean a redesign of the whole thing.

Is there anything you’d like to see in a module like that, that I didn’t mention? Would you like the address/place of the station somewhere? Let me know what you think.

I didn’t look at the code, yet, but I think I see a possible issue (just from the image):
Either they forgot the grenadine juice in the ingredient list – or you’re cutting off the ingredient list too short (after 5 elements).

From a Web Design standpoint I’d also suggest using “left-aligned”, or maybe “justified” for the receipt.

I did some digging but wasn’t able to find a usable alternative.

Company Website (& API)
I don’t know if the website is down or geo-blocked for me, I can’t reach www.speedway.com
If I could, I’d check if they have pages for each station with live prices available and if they have an API.

Google Knowledge Graph
I searched that station on Google and found the result page had a right hand sidebar (Google Knowledge Graph) with live prices. So I thought I could get it via the Knowledge Graph API (if you have a Google Dev API key (and activated KG), you can try it with this link) but the itemList is empty, or maybe I did something wrong. Wrong queries?

Google Maps – or Places?
Then I found out that when you search that station on Google Maps, it’ll also show the live prices in the sidebar on the left. But the latest info I found (some months old) say that there’s no way to access these as they’re not in the Google Maps API (or was it Places?).

Getting the live price from the actual gas station itself, or at least from Google, would be the best solution, as the GasBuddy price is not really live, it’s only updated when a user shares the newest price.

@jegerikke have you checked for a Norwegian rss feed?

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/2791/alot-of-spam-lately-on-this-forum/20

Just recently I suggested a few ideas like putting new users in a category that restricts them to only opening new threads every x hours. That might also recude unintentional spam but is not restricting you from taking part in discussions that already exist.

This might lead to more spam inside threads, though, which might be even more disruptive.

So, on top of that, if a post or thread by a person in the restricted category is flagged by more than n (2? 3?) persons in a short ammount of time, that post or thread would be temporarily removed until a moderator/admin checked it. This forum is pretty civil and I’d think abuse of this function would be low to zero.

btw. double opt in didn’t seem to work a while back, is it working now?

I have a similar module where I get the prices from a German gas station. With some small changes it should be possible to show prices from other sources as well. But it’s not looking for different prices in a region, only at one gas station, displaying their current price. If you have one station you’re always going to, check if the brand/station has a website with live prices. Even if you have one favorite station on Gas Buddy, it might work with some changes. But as I saw, that’s a system where other users have to put in the prices (or the station itself), so not very accurate compared to live data.

Oh, and there is @cowboysdude’s MMM-History module.

“Today in History” links to the parser that gets the info from Wiki, I’m sure it could parse the Norwegian Wikipedia. I may look into it as I’m also interested in a non-english version of this.

What I ment with hempty header was an empty string value for the header:

    header: "", 

In the config.js, when setting up the modules, leave the header fields empty. No line is shown when the header is empty.
EDIT:
header: "", that is …
