Thanks

I believe SD is now designed to automatically register the dlls while installing the mod. so I'll try to install the mod first. if you get dll errors when running the digimod, then register the dlls.

Does this work with Postal Codes for us up in Canada? or is this another mod that's useless to us?

from what I have seen so far.. I cant mod his digital mod to work for canada...

the Original programmer needs to update his GasPriceDLL.dll .. since his code is locked in there to find the prices

the GasPriceDLL access the following website to retrieve the gas price information.

http://www.automotive.com/gas-prices/. The dll basically parses the information from this website. There is no way of retrieving this information anyway else. not according to my knowledge anyways.

Now for those in canada. is there a website you can use to view gas price information. or is there one that provides a service to get this data say via xml. if so, my code can be convert to read information from that site.

can you try using gasbuddytogo.com ? you can search via zipcode/postal code on it but it only returns the prices.. it doesnt say which grade of fuel...

maybe you can just add a check.. if it doesnt find anything from the original site.. then it should check gasbuddytogo.com ... that way you have the best information available in your area
