It has dropped out a few times over the past week but comes back up after a few minutes. It is probably struggling to keep pace with the rapidly increasing prices that the fuel companies are now gouging out of the consumers.

Have had problems in the past and have deleted and reinstalled it seemed to fix the problem.

The problem happens frequently to me. The problem is that the site's server is easily overloaded. If you back off a minute or three the problem has usually gone away.

It would appear that with the current situation in the Middle East, people are just overloading the system looking for the lowest price and availability. Something that the designers probably didn’t factor into the design.

Makes it hard for the site owners . Do you spend heaps to cater for very occasional blips ?
I wouldn't.
Cheers
