Fuel Meter is out. It is live on Google Play and on the web at gorivometar.mk, released under its local name — Гориво Метар — in Macedonian and English, for North Macedonia.
The Monday problem
Every Monday, the Energy Regulatory Commission publishes a decision setting one maximum retail price per fuel for the whole country. It takes effect at 00:01 on Tuesday. Until then, the current price is last week's, and after then it is not.
That is a small, specific, extremely annoying information problem: a number that changes on a schedule, published in a format designed for a regulator rather than a driver. Fuel Meter reads the decision the moment it goes up and shows the current price for every fuel, with how much it moved since the previous decision, and the date it came into force.
The part nobody publishes
Everybody eventually learns the price. Almost nobody can tell you what it is made of. A litre is a stack — purchase cost, excise duty, VAT, the retailer's margin, transport, levies — and the stack is where the story is. When the price goes up, this is what tells you whether the world moved or the tax did.
Fuel Meter breaks every fuel down into those components. It is the reason the app exists.
What else is in it
- Every filling station in the country, on a map.
- A tank and trip calculator — what filling up costs today, what a route costs.
- A full year of price history, so you can see whether this week is genuinely unusual.
- Macedonian and English in the app; the website adds Albanian.
Free, no ads, no sign-up
There is no account. The app shows a national price set by a public regulator — there is nothing here that requires knowing who you are, so it does not ask.
What is still coming
The iOS build is being prepared for release. Android and the web version are live today. If you are in North Macedonia and something looks wrong against the official decision, tell us — that is the one bug class we care about above all others.
