Getting Info
=======
I may want the cheapest prices so
1. I need to specify the fuel type and an estate e.g cdb, westlands,
south B south C, industrial area, e.t.c.
I may post something like
"cheapest diesel cbd" and get "Total: whatever rd. 70; Shell whatever2 rd 73"
Updating Info
=========
Updating info can be done in 2 ways:
1. Only a few admins
2. Any interested person.
if only admins update info, then all petrol stations can be coded then
an SMS of the form "update 1000001 petrol 80 diesel 75". Where 1000001
is a certain petrol station.
If anybody can update this info, then we can do it in 2 ways:
2.1 Do it in a multistep refining proces for reaching a certain petrol station.
2.2 We list the format for updating info on the site and hope
everybody will read it before posting. The system cannot handle any
random input. Or we can go tech and do word filtering(Too much work
for unknown gain)
One problem: If anybody can update info, then rivals can hike others prices.
Hmm, one solution is to let each petrol station manager update their
price. Then give the manager a code so they insert their code plus
the price for their petrol station.
Problems am seeing:
1. If a manager moves, then he may corrupt info
2. A manager may underprice to attract people to the petrol station.
